ADVERTISEMENTAt The Great Outdoors Fund, we believe that safeguarding outdoor access requires a bold and practical solution — one that goes beyond politics, beyond bureaucracy, and toward partnership. Public lands. But too often, the public funding needed to deliver these solutions is tied up in red tape, or simply doesn’t exist. Outdoor recreation is a $1.2 trillion economic engine, supporting over 5 million jobs and sustaining rural communities from coast to coast. Lori McCullough, CEO of The Great Outdoors Fund, has more than 25 years of leadership experience in conservation and outdoor recreation.
