Public lands are a national treasure and must not be sold | Tracy Stone-Manning

  • Tracy Stone-Manning, president of The Wilderness Society, warned in May 2025 that Republican-controlled Congress considered selling public lands to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.
  • This proposal, once unthinkable, emerged as Congress worked to finalize the president's budget and tax cut agenda despite public opposition.
  • Democrats offered an amendment to block public land sales, but the Senate voted largely along party lines, with only two Montana Republicans opposing the sell-off.
  • Polls show strong public support for conserving public lands to protect wildlife habitat and recreation areas because these lands provide equal access regardless of wealth.
  • Stone-Manning emphasized that selling public lands threatens a priceless shared heritage that unites Americans and includes Indigenous stewardship dating back millennia.
