Proclamation 9757 of May 30, 2018

Great Outdoors Month, 2018

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

During Great Outdoors Month, we celebrate the unmatched magnificence of
our Nation's mountains, waters, canyons, and coastlines. Spending time
in the great outdoors, especially during summer, is an American
tradition. Every American should take the opportunity to enjoy the
beauty of our natural wonders, which stretch from coast to coast and
beyond.
As Americans, we are blessed with many stunning lands and waters that
surround each of our communities. Our numerous forests, wildlife
refuges, and local parks offer endless opportunities for recreation,
adventure, and renewal. Early morning fishing trips and the thrill of
summiting mountain peaks with friends create lasting memories. The
splendid beauty of a sunset can inspire, while the solitude of a weekend
camping trip often brings long-sought tranquility.

My Administration has made access to public land a top priority. We have
modified national monuments to enhance public use and enjoyment of
nearly two million acres of public land in Utah, and opened or expanded
hunting and fishing access at 10 national wildlife refuges across the
country. The splendor of our country's treasured lands is a source of
national pride, and Americans should be able to enjoy as many of our
treasured outdoor spaces as possible, in as many ways as possible.
As summer approaches, I encourage all Americans to step outside and
appreciate America's natural beauty and to practice good stewardship of
our environment. By enjoying our great outdoors, we enhance our
collective efforts to preserve our natural lands and waters, protecting
them for future generations.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2018 as Great
Outdoors Month. I urge all Americans to explore the great outdoors while
acting as stewards of our lands and waters.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of
May, in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-
second.
DONALD J. TRUMP
