- Summary:
- In April 2010, President Obama launched the Americas Great Outdoors Initiative, calling on the Secretaries of the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality to develop a 21st-century conservation agenda that will protect Americas natural and cultural resources, and connect people to the outdoors through jobs, education, recreation, and service. Conservation of our natural, cultural and historic resources is an American tradition, shaping who we are as a nation. This book highlights this Administrations work to date under the Americas Great Outdoors (AGO) initiative.
