Federal public lands and waters are among America’s greatest assets—vital natural resources owned by the people and managed for the benefit of all.
Beyond energy, minerals, and timber, these shared spaces generate immense economic value through outdoor recreation. Each year, recreation on federal lands and waters contributes $128 billion to the nation’s economy, supporting businesses, jobs, and communities across the country. This report examines how outdoor recreation enhances America’s balance sheet and underscores why responsible stewardship of our public lands delivers lasting returns for every citizen.
