Public access to America's lands and waters is a Constitutional right — not a privilege granted by an agency, sold to a special interest, or gated behind a regulatory wall. If those rights are being eroded in your community, our legal team needs to know. The next case we file may start with your report.
Public access is a Constitutional right. The Public Trust Doctrine holds wildlife, waters, and public lands in trust for every American — not for select agencies, special interests, or co-management schemes. We want to hear from anyone whose access to those resources is being restricted, taken, or quietly transferred away.
Your right to hunt and fish is rooted in the Public Trust Doctrine and the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. A closure that came out of nowhere. A tag allocation that doesn't add up. A boat ramp quietly fenced off. These are infringements on your access — tell us.
Public lands belong to every American — including the trails, walls, and routes you've used for years. A trailhead suddenly posted "Private." A climbing area closed without notice. An easement that was supposed to be permanent. Loss of public access is loss of a Constitutional right.
A quota change with no public comment. A management plan that ignores science. A treaty obligation being walked back. Public fisheries are held in trust for all Americans, and the rules that govern them must follow Constitutional process — notice, comment, and the rule of law.
A federal action that affects your county. A regulatory change that was never explained. A policy made in a city by people who will never live with the consequences. Your community has Constitutional standing to participate in decisions about your land, water, and way of life.
Wildlife and wild places belong to all of us. The Constitution and the Public Trust Doctrine guarantee that. If access is being taken, rules are being made without you, or public resources are being privatized — that's worth telling us, no matter who you are.
If a public agency, special interest, or private actor is restricting your access to public lands or wildlife — or making decisions about them without due process — that's a Constitutional concern. You don't need to be a lawyer to recognize when something is wrong. Send it.
