    Proclamation 10045 of May 29, 2020
    Great Outdoors Month, 2020
    By the President of the United States of America
    A Proclamation
    Our Nation is blessed with abundant natural beauty that can be enjoyed
    every season from coast to coast. During Great Outdoors Month, we
    celebrate the majestic mountains, forests, canyons, beaches, and rivers
    that provide recreation and renewal for all Americans, enriching our
    lives and strengthening an enduring connection to our national heritage.
    Our parks, recreational areas, and public lands are some of our greatest
    national treasures. For centuries, Americans have looked to the
    sprawling expanse of America's outdoor spaces as a source of adventure,
    sustenance, and inspiration. From the lands and waters that constitute
    our National Park System, to State, local, and city parks, to our own
    backyards, every unique experience of the great outdoors helps improve
    our health and offers opportunities for families, friends, and
    communities to connect over a shared appreciation for the natural world.
    My Administration remains committed to restoring and preserving our
    land, air, and waters while also opening up more recreational
    opportunities for all Americans. We have provided increased access to
    public lands, expanding hunting and fishing opportunities at national
    wildlife refuges and national fish hatcheries across 1.7 million acres.
    Last year, I was proud to sign the largest public lands legislation in a
    decade, designating 1.3 million new acres of wilderness and increasing
    recreational access for hunters, fishers, boaters, and campers.
    Additionally, I announced that the United States will be joining the One
    Trillion Trees Initiative, an ambitious effort to bring together
    government and private sector partners and further our commitment to
    maintaining our natural world. Through these actions, we are actively
    promoting a conservation ethic that drives responsible stewardship of
    our environment.
    Whether hiking on world-class trails, camping under the stars, or
    fishing our Nation's abundant waterways, exploring the great outdoors
    provides adventurers of all ages endless opportunities to create
    lifelong memories. This month, we pause to appreciate the extraordinary
    natural beauty of our country, and we recommit to protecting and
    preserving our natural wonders for future generations.
