Executive Order 14313 of July 3, 2025
Establishing the President's Make America
Beautiful Again Commission
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Purpose. The United States is blessed with
vast beautiful landscapes, abundant natural resources,
and a rich heritage of discovery by travelers and
outdoorsmen. America's national parks, forests,
waterways, and public lands have inspired generations
and kindled our Nation's spirit of exploration. To
ensure that the next generation of Americans inherits
this same sense of duty and adventure, my
Administration will prioritize conserving our great
American national parks and outdoor recreation areas.
Years of mismanagement, regulatory overreach, and
neglect of routine maintenance require action. Land-use
restrictions have stripped hunters, fishers, hikers,
and outdoorsmen of access to public lands that belong
to them. These bureaucratic restrictions have
undermined outdoor traditions and threatened
conservation funding. The National Park Service and the
United States Forest Service face more than $23 billion
and $10.8 billion in deferred maintenance,
respectively, leaving roads, trails, and historic
landmarks in disrepair. Despite these challenges, our
Nation has proven that conservation and economic growth
go hand in hand. Since the signing of the Great
American Outdoors Act (Public Law 116-152), the outdoor
recreation economy has grown to $1.2 trillion in
economic output, and, in 2023, comprised 3.1 percent of
employees in the United States and supported 5 million
jobs.
Through both innovation and commonsense policies,
America can preserve its natural beauty and expand
outdoor recreation opportunities for future
generations. It is the policy of my Administration to
prioritize responsible conservation, restore our lands
and waters, and protect our Nation's outdoor heritage
for the enjoyment of the American people.
Sec. 2. General Policies. All Federal land management
agencies, as defined by 16 U.S.C. 6801(3), shall, to
the extent practicable, ensure that their policies:
(a) promote responsible stewardship of natural
resources while driving economic growth;
(b) expand access to public lands and waters for
recreation, hunting, and fishing;
(c) encourage responsible, voluntary conservation
efforts;
(d) cut bureaucratic delays that hinder effective
environmental management; and
(e) recover America's fish and wildlife populations
through proactive, voluntary, on-the-ground
collaborative conservation efforts.
Sec. 3. Establishment and Composition of the
President's Make America Beautiful Again Commission.
(a) There is hereby established the President's Make
America Beautiful Again Commission (Commission), which
shall be chaired by the Secretary of the Interior
(Chair), with the Assistant to the President for
Domestic Policy serving as Executive Director
(Executive Director).
[[Page 30198]]
(b) In addition to the Chair and the Executive
Director, the Commission shall include the following
officials or their designees:

discretion of the Chair and the Executive Director.
Sec. 4. Conserving Our National Treasures. The
Commission shall advise and assist the President
regarding how best to responsibly conserve America's
national treasures and natural resources, including by:
(a) monitoring the implementation of this order and
facilitating interagency coordination on conservation
efforts;
(b) providing to the President actionable
recommendations for improving conservation efforts;
(c) developing policies to recover fish and
wildlife populations through collaboration rather than
regulation, including policies involving coordination
with State wildlife agencies;
(d) recommending to the President solutions to
expand access to clean drinking water and restore
aquatic ecosystems to improve water quality and
availability; and
(e) developing policies to expand access to public
lands, national parks, national forests, and wildlife
refuges while promoting a wide range of outdoor
recreation opportunities like hunting, fishing, hiking,
biking, skiing, climbing, boating, off-roading, and
wildlife viewing.
Sec. 5. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order
shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or
the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
[[Page 30199]]
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.

be borne by the Department of the Interior.
