Our Mission
Keep it Public, Wyoming is a coalition of businesses, nonprofit organizations, and individuals united in defense of America’s public lands legacy. We strongly oppose efforts to transfer or sell off national public lands — in Wyoming and elsewhere — to state or private control.
Join us! Tell your elected representatives where you stand: Public lands in public hands.
Our Way of Life
Freedom to access public lands — from our national forests to our vast, high deserts — is central to the Wyoming way of life. Public lands fuel our largest industries. They help sustain local businesses and agriculture. They embody our shared outdoor heritage: wide open spaces, abundant wildlife habitat, and the freedom to explore them.
Our public lands have been used by Wyomingites for generations. More than 9-in-10 Wyomingites hunt, fish, or recreate on our public lands. Once they are sold, they are gone for good, and our kids and grandkids will never get them back.
Public lands belong to all of us. We all—individuals, businesses, and government officials alike — have a responsibility to steward these lands for future generations. It’s hard work, but it’s work worth doing.
