Harness Your Pen x EXPLORE ACT LTE Workshop

We hosted the workshop on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, to discuss the power of LTE (Letters to the Editor) and how you can effectively harness your pen to make an impact in support of the Expanding Public Lands Outdoor Recreation Experiences  (EXPLORE) Act. 

Right now, Congress is considering the Expanding Public Lands Outdoor Recreation Experiences (EXPLORE) Act. This legislation is designed to improve public land access, enhance visitor experiences through technology upgrades, and make outdoor spaces more inclusive for a diverse range of individuals, including military service members, veterans, people with disabilities, and youth. Check out this insightful and practical workshop that will empower you to make your voice heard!
