Outdoor Recreation Roundtable

Outdoor recreation is taking center stage in the Winter Olympics! Best of luck to Team USA as you compete -- we're cheering for you and the love of the outdoors. ⛷️🏔️🇺🇸🥇 #WinterOlympics #TeamUSA

Today, ORR is in front of the House Natural Resources Committee to celebrate one year of EXPLORE Act implementation and identify opportunities to ensure the transformative outdoor recreation legislation meets its fullest potential. #EXPLOREAct

We applaud Secretary Burgum’s Secretarial Order expanding access to hunting and fishing on public lands and waters—supporting rural communities, stewardship, and a strong recreation economy—and look forward to working with @Interior on implementation. recreationroundtable.org/news/orr-welco…

One year ago, the EXPLORE Act became law. We celebrate the expanded access, modernization, and bipartisan momentum that has been accomplished. Let’s keep going. #EXPLOREoutdoors #EXPLOREAct @ORRoundtable

TODAY: @Interior released Secretary’s Order 3447 to expand hunting and fishing access on America’s public lands. We’re cutting barriers and streamlining regulations so Americans have the access they deserve on our public lands.    Learn more here⬇️doi.gov/document-libra…

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.

@SecretaryBurgum's remarks highlighted next steps for EXPLORE Act implementation and harnessing technology and innovation in federal recreation management. #OutdoorRecreationEconomy

We are joined by @SenatorHick and @RepWesterman to discuss how to meet the current moment and embrace technological advances that grow the recreation economy and preserve our outdoor heritage. #OutdoorRecreationEconomy
