Protect funding for our Public Lands Workforce

Tell your elected officials: fully fund the public lands workforce in the FY26 spending bill and take care of the people who care for our public lands.

Cooperative Action Network

Show America’s public lands caretakers we have their back

Every year, over 100 million people visit America’s public lands. But behind every trail, campsite, and ranger-led program is a workforce that’s been stretched to its limits.

Thousands of public lands professionals have already been laid off, and without sufficient funding in the FY26 spending bill, agencies can’t bring them back. These stewards—park rangers, foresters, custodians, researchers, service providers and countless other federal employees at our national parks, monuments, forests, and BLM lands—ensure that millions of visitors each year safely enjoy America’s outdoors. Now, they need our support.
A strong, supported workforce is the foundation of safe, sustainable access to the outdoors. Your voice can help protect it.

Join us in urging Congress to fully fund the public lands workforce in the FY26 spending bill and reinstate the essential public lands workforce.
