Congratulations to our close partners and leading outdoor recreation organizations, Outdoor Alliance, Outdoor Industry Association, Outdoor Recreation Roundtable, and others who advocated on behalf of outdoor spaces and recreationalists for years to pass this groundbreaking legislation. Expanding outdoor recreation access supports businesses and communities across the country!
BIG BREAKING NEWS! Outdoor Alliance is thrilled 🎉 to celebrate the passage of the EXPLORE Act in Congress today. The EXPLORE Act will significantly enhance outdoor recreation on our public lands, which is especially vital as participation continues to grow each year. “The passage of EXPLORE sends a clear message that outdoor recreation and our public lands are bipartisan priorities. Signing this bill into law represents a meaningful investment in our shared outdoor heritage and the vibrant outdoor recreation economy it sustains,” said Adam Cramer, Outdoor Alliance CEO Outdoor Alliance looks forward to continuing to advocate for the protection and enhancement of outdoor recreation and public lands for generations to come.

Another exciting win for conservation! Over 150,000 acres in New Mexico’s Pecos watershed are now protected from exploratory mining. Thanks to a collaborative effort led by local landowners, community members, and recreationalists, and support from county commissioners and New Mexico’s entire congressional delegation, US Department of Interior Secretary Deb Haaland announced the 2-year mining withdrawal last week. TCA is proud to have supported Trout Unlimited on this effort. 📷: Jim O'Donnell
