Our public lands face a multitude of issues from surging visitation, inadequate or insufficient employee housing, or too few boots on the ground to understand climate changes impacts, educate visitors, or maintain trails. And these are just a few of the issues our public lands face. Learn more about the solutions the Administration and Congress are proposing to help address these issues, and in breakout groups, help PLA and the National Parks Conservation Association brainstorm additional solutions or build upon proposed solutions already underway.
