According to a report released by the America's Great Outdoors (AGO) Initiative, Americans value close-to-home places to access the outdoors, Americans love their rivers, and they want to conserve our large, rural landscapes.
President Obama and the Department of the Interior released the America's Great Outdoors Fifty-State Report identifying America's outdoors and environmental priorities.
The AGO Initiative, which was launched in April 2010, became the most robust public dialogue in history with more than 10,000 people participating. Another 105,000 people submitted comments.
Secretary Salazar worked with Governors and the American people to identify specific environmental projects in each state. The result of the public conversation identifies 2 projects per state. Projects range from conservation to engaging youth outdoors.
