One year ago, the EXPLORE Act made history as the first-ever outdoor recreation–specific legislative package passed with unanimous bipartisan support. In the year since its enactment, implementation has begun delivering meaningful progress. To mark this milestone, the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable invites you to join a national webinar convening senior federal leaders, policymakers, and outdoor recreation stakeholders for a candid, forward-looking discussion on the state of EXPLORE Act implementation.
