Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution designates June 2025 as "Great Outdoors Month" to celebrate outdoor recreation and encourage Americans to participate in outdoor activities. The resolution highlights the massive economic impact of outdoor recreation, which generated $1.2 trillion in economic output in 2023 and provided 5 million jobs while growing nearly three times faster than the overall economy from 2020 to 2023. The legislation affects all Americans by promoting outdoor recreation opportunities and recognizing the importance of outdoor activities for health, quality of life, and economic growth, particularly for small businesses in rural communities. This is a symbolic resolution that requires no funding and simply establishes a commemorative month to raise awareness about the benefits and importance of outdoor recreation. The resolution encourages responsible participation in outdoor activities during June 2025 and throughout the year while emphasizing the need to ensure outdoor recreation access remains available for future generations.
