“When we first opened Public Lands, we set out to make a difference not just for our national public lands, but also for our local communities and organizations supporting outdoor recreation for all,” explains Public Lands President Todd Spaletto. “We’re thrilled to be able to double our giveback in honor of National Public Lands Day to support the work of these organizations. We also can’t wait to welcome people to our four new Public Lands locations, including our first stores in the southeast and northwest, where they can get the gear they need, find a community through our events, and celebrate public lands.”
