Rollback of Single-Use Plastics Bans in National Parks and the Push to Rewrite American History - Public Lands News (May 26 - 30)

This week, we break down the biggest public lands headlines you might have missed.

We’cover:

  • How public pressure killed a plan to sell off over 500,000 acres of public lands in Nevada and Utah

  • Why the House bill still poses serious threats to national parks, the Arctic Refuge, and Boundary Waters

  • How Trump’s administration is gutting environmental protections while ramping up reckless oil, gas, and mining leases

  • The administration’s push to rewrite American history at national parks and historic sites

  • A quiet but damaging rollback of single-use plastics bans in our national parks

  • Ongoing legal challenges and grassroots victories proving that public action still makes a difference

👉 Call your senators before July 4th and demand they oppose public land sell-offs and environmental rollbacks in the Senate’s version of the budget bill.

👉 Follow us on Instagram (@outdoor.minimalist.book) for quick news breakdowns and action alerts.
