A favorite trail. A cold mountain river. A campsite full of memories. A view you'll never forget.

National forests, wildlife refuges and other public lands give us moments that stay with us for a lifetime.
We're grateful for these landscapes, which belong to all of us.

This National Public Lands Day, we're reminding our elected leaders that public lands deserve lasting
protections. Threats to sell, transfer or weaken these landscapes are not acceptable.

🌿 What's your favorite public land? Tell us in the comments.

This , we’re proud to spotlight how our work is helping to meet energy demand while building a cleaner, more sustainable future. By 2035, the U.S. will need to produce 50% more electricity per year than it did in 2025. When clean energy is part of the solution, people and nature can benefit.

In the Western U.S., The Nature Conservancy is developing cutting-edge science and mapping tools to help identify where to site energy projects and infrastructure so they have the least impact on plants, wildlife, and the surrounding communities. We are also informing key policy decisions that will guide the way toward a cleaner energy future.

The Roadless Rule—which is now in danger of being repealed—is a powerhouse for the outdoor recreation economy.

Every year, millions of people enjoy hiking, hunting, using ATVs and more in the nearly 60 million acres of national forest and national grassland that the Roadless Rule helps to protect.

Areas protected by the Roadless Rule are traversed by 9,300 miles of hiking trails, including large sections of the Continental Divide, Pacific Crest and Appalachian Trail. These areas also offer crucial habitat for trout, salmon, elk and other fish and game.
