Timely conversation at the 2026 Maine Outdoor Economy Summit with @SenAngusKing – a great champion for public lands, including his work w/ @SteveDaines to reauthorize the Legacy Restoration Fund. With gratitude from ⁦@tpl_org⁩.

@Deseret @lindkevin @ORRoundtable knows that these lands do have an economic value- for many types of activities! Glad we could help bring to light recreation on the Balance Sheet and work with DOI and Secretary Burgum on including this new data in the accounting for these great public spaces!

@RepWesterman @ORRoundtable Thank you for your support of the Outdoor Recreation Economy!!

[Rep. Bruce Westerman @RepWesterman]

Hot Springs is an outdoor recreation destination for folks all across the country and the world. As an avid outdoorsman who loves spending time outdoors in the Natural State, I greatly enjoyed yesterday’s discussion with @ORRoundtable on how we can grow our recreation economy and preserve our nation’s - and state’s - outdoor heritage.

[Josh Halpern @vanbassador]

🎥 Road-tripping at #OutsideFestival Denver! Caught @JessOutdoorRec of @ORRpolicy @ORRoundtable on how the $1.2 T outdoor economy now unites 110K+ businesses, powers 5 M jobs & grew state rec offices from 1 ➡️ 24 (aiming for 25-in-’25).

For what it’s worth, this video is from *AUGUST 2024* and Trump was specifically talking about the Las Vegas area — not 3 million acres of American land in 11 Western states.

@SarahHuckabee Thank you for your real desire to preserve access to the outdoors and deep commitment to the outdoor recreation industry through all you and the First Gentlemen have done. The industry considers Arkansas a second home!

[Sarah Huckabee Sanders @SarahHuckabee]

Honored to receive the first ever "Outdoor Recreation Leadership" award at the Outdoor Recreation Leadership Forum in Washington.

Alongside my husband, Bryan, we established the Natural State Initiative to invest in state parks, grow tourism and the outdoor economy, and make Arkansas the best place to live, work and raise a family.

[Jess Wahl (Outdoor Recreation) @JessOutdoorRec]

@SecDebHaaland @ORRoundtable @Interior Thank you for your leadership and @Manitobah for all they are doing. We are inspired by so much!

[Jess Wahl (Outdoor Recreation) @JessOutdoorRec]

It was an honor to have @SecDebHaaland and @Manitobah join in an important conversation around our public lands, Tribal lands and so much more!

[Secretary Deb Haaland @SecDebHaaland]

It is abundantly clear just how essential the outdoor recreation economy is - for our health, our economy and the viability of our future. I was grateful to join @ORRoundtable to share updates on how @Interior is bolstering this industry nationwide.
