Public land is defined by the dictionary as the following:
Land that is owned by the United States government.
The purpose of the United States government is to serve its people. Americans pay taxes to ensure our government does what is in the best interest for our people. This includes maintaining public land for public use.
Wilderness groups and extreme environmental groups, funded by wealthy donors located mostly in other states and countries, are working to cut off all parties of interest from using public lands. This includes families that have no access to recreate by whatever means preferred, and companies extracting natural resources available throughout the region.
Please keep in mind that FFOR does not get involved with the battle between what groups should be able to obtain access to public lands, and which groups shouldn’t, but instead focuses on preventing public lands from being closed off to all.
