Executive Order 14313
Establishing the President's Make America Beautiful Again Commission
Signed July 3, 2025, printed at 90 FR 30197. 4 sections of substance, 896 words.

Land-use restrictions have stripped hunters, fishers, hikers, and outdoorsmen of access to public lands that belong to them. These bureaucratic restrictions have undermined outdoor traditions and threatened conservation funding. The National Park Service and the United States Forest Service face more than

This is about parks and public land. It says those places shape the country. It says neglect has left them worn.
