President Creates 'Make America Beautiful Again' Parks Fix Commission
Published Date: 7/9/2025
Presidential Document
Summary
The President just created the Make America Beautiful Again Commission to fix and protect our national parks, forests, and public lands. This means more access for hunters, fishers, and outdoor lovers while tackling billions in maintenance backlogs. Starting now, the government will speed up fixes and boost outdoor fun, helping both nature and the economy grow stronger.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Huge park repair backlog prioritized
The Commission will prioritize fixing deferred maintenance in federal lands, noting the National Park Service has more than $23 billion and the Forest Service has $10.8 billion in deferred maintenance. The order says speeding up repairs and restoring lands will support outdoor recreation, which the document says generates $1.2 trillion in economic output and supported 5 million jobs in 2023.
Expanded access for outdoor recreation
The Commission will develop policies to expand access to public lands, national parks, forests, and refuges for a wide range of outdoor activities, including hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, skiing, climbing, boating, off‑roading, and wildlife viewing. The order directs agencies to expand access for recreation, hunting, and fishing as a policy priority.
Push to restore water quality and access
The Commission is tasked with recommending solutions to expand access to clean drinking water and to restore aquatic ecosystems to improve water quality and availability. The order makes restoring water and aquatic ecosystems a stated Commission objective.
Wildlife recovery via collaboration not regulation
The Commission will develop policies to recover fish and wildlife populations through collaborative, voluntary, on‑the‑ground efforts, including coordination with State wildlife agencies, rather than by regulation. The order directs the Commission to recommend these collaborative approaches to the President.
