It's summertime! All across the nation, birds are singing, fish are jumping, the sun is shining—and nature lovers like you and me are seizing every possible opportunity to explore America's spectacular public lands and wild places.

We'd love to know: how do you plan to enjoy the great outdoors this summer? Let us know by taking our quick, 1-minute survey!

In a divided country, our public lands remain a shared resource. One that belongs to everyone, that can't be bought or sold. It was built over time and defended over generations—we owe it to those who came before and those who will come after to keep our public lands intact.

Please take a moment to share with us how you will spend time experiencing America's shared wild places this summer.

However you choose to explore and enjoy nature in the weeks ahead, all of us here at The Wilderness Society hope you have a safe, fun and memorable experience.

With gratitude,

P.S. This year, our summer forays into public lands are taking on a special resonance as America marks its 250th anniversary. But the administration and its allies in Congress are barging ahead with plans to sell-off and lease millions of acres of these public lands to industrial polluters and destructive developers—betraying our shared inheritance and directly threatening the fundamental freedom we all have to explore this country's beautiful wild places. Please consider making a tax-deductible gift to The Wilderness Society today and help power our fight to ensure that our shared public lands are handed down to future generations—not over to corporations who will exploit them for profit.
