The Obama administration has launched a new initiative to reconnect Americans, especially kids, with our country's amazing natural beauty. They're calling the initiative America's Great Outdoors, and they're looking for public input on the places that need more protection. We think Lake Michigan should make the list.

Stand up for Lake Michigan by adding your name to the petition at right.

Saving national forests

Thanks to our federation’s work, more than 1.5 million citizens nationwide called on the Clinton administration to protect pristine areas in our national forests, resulting in the Roadless Rule. When the Bush administration attempted to overturn the rule, we worked with governors in seven states to petition to protect their forests.

Sign the petition: Dear Secretary Salazar, Lake Michigan is an unparalleled national treasure, but is threatened by invasive species like the Asian carp, rampant shoreline development, toxic pollution, sewage overflows and unrestricted water withdrawals. As you consider projects for the America’s Great Outdoors agenda, please make protecting Lake Michigan a priority.
