Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution recognizes the Latino community's leadership and participation in outdoor recreation and conservation activities that protect U.S. natural resources. The bill expresses support for designating September 12 through September 20, 2026, as "Latino Conservation Week," building on an annual observance created by the Hispanic Access Foundation in 2014. The resolution highlights that Latino communities, representing 21 percent of the U.S. population, disproportionately experience environmental challenges while leading conservation efforts including hiking, camping, community cleanups, and tree plantings on public lands and waters. It also emphasizes that Latino communities often have limited access to parks and green spaces, particularly in urban areas, and calls for equitable planning and investment in outdoor recreation infrastructure. As a House resolution, this measure does not appropriate funding but expresses congressional support for the week-long celebration and Latino environmental leadership.
