Proclamation 9757 of May 30, 2018

Great Outdoors Month, 2018

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

During Great Outdoors Month, we celebrate the unmatched
magnificence of our Nation's mountains, waters,
canyons, and coastlines. Spending time in the great
outdoors, especially during summer, is an American
tradition. Every American should take the opportunity
to enjoy the beauty of our natural wonders, which
stretch from coast to coast and beyond.

As Americans, we are blessed with many stunning lands
and waters that surround each of our communities. Our
numerous forests, wildlife refuges, and local parks
offer endless opportunities for recreation, adventure,
and renewal. Early morning fishing trips and the thrill
of summiting mountain peaks with friends create lasting
memories. The splendid beauty of a sunset can inspire,
while the solitude of a weekend camping trip often
brings long-sought tranquility.

My Administration has made access to public land a top
priority. We have modified national monuments to
enhance public use and enjoyment of nearly two million
acres of public land in Utah, and opened or expanded
hunting and fishing access at 10 national wildlife
refuges across the country. The splendor of our
country's treasured lands is a source of national
pride, and Americans should be able to enjoy as many of
our treasured outdoor spaces as possible, in as many
ways as possible.

As summer approaches, I encourage all Americans to step
outside and appreciate America's natural beauty and to
practice good stewardship of our environment. By
enjoying our great outdoors, we enhance our collective
efforts to preserve our natural lands and waters,
protecting them for future generations.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim June 2018 as Great
Outdoors Month. I urge all Americans to explore the
great outdoors while acting as stewards of our lands
and waters.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
thirtieth day of May, in the year of our Lord two
thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
second.
