Plain-English Summary

This bill would prevent the federal government from selling off public lands and instead keep them in public ownership for uses like recreation, conservation, and resource management. It affects everyone who uses national forests, parks, and other federal lands for hunting, fishing, hiking, or other outdoor activities, as well as communities that depend on these lands for timber, mining, or other economic uses. The bill is currently being reviewed by lawmakers who focus on forest and land management issues.
