This resolution expresses congressional support for National Public Lands Day, observed on September 26, 2026, and encourages Americans to visit public lands on this fee-free day. The resolution recognizes the cultural, spiritual, and economic significance of America's vast public lands holdings, which include over 618 million acres managed by agencies like the National Park Service, Forest Service, and Bureau of Land Management. The legislation highlights that public lands generate substantial economic benefits, contributing nearly $697 billion to the U.S. economy through outdoor recreation in 2024 and supporting approximately 950,000 jobs. National Public Lands Day, first celebrated in 1994 and coordinated by the National Environmental Education Foundation, has involved millions of volunteers in restoration and maintenance efforts across these treasured places. The resolution contains no funding requirements or implementation timelines, as it is a symbolic measure expressing the House's support for the annual observance.
