                Proclamation 9619 of May 31, 2017

                
Great Outdoors Month, 2017

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                With June comes the summer sun, longer days, and warmer 
                weather--the perfect opportunity to enjoy the great 
                outdoors. During Great Outdoors Month, we encourage all 
                Americans to experience the beauty and adventure of our 
                Nation's lakes, mountains, and forests, and even of 
                their own backyards.

                Each of our States and territories provides endless 
                opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Americans 
                can go fishing in Eleven Mile State Park in Colorado, 
                camp on the bluffs of Perrot State Park in Wisconsin, 
                and bike along the Sable River in Ludington State Park 
                in Michigan. These lands and waters are also home to 
                cultural and historic sites that inspire our love of 
                country and serve as important touchstones for who we 
                are as Americans.

                Whether your great outdoors means a community park, a 
                state reservoir, a national forest, or a backyard 
                campout, we must cherish our outdoor spaces and work to 
                preserve them for generations. This is why, as 
                President, I am working to bring leaders throughout the 
                country together to improve the management of our 
                vitally important public lands, especially through 
                public-private partnerships to help clear the backlog 
                of deferred maintenance.

                I urge all Americans to set aside time during the month 
                of June to visit our great outdoors and experience 
                America's natural and cultural history. This month in 
                particular, we celebrate our Nation's remarkable 
                natural heritage and express our gratitude to those who 
                help preserve our natural habitat for generations of 
                Americans to come.

                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 2017 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

                thousand seventeen, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                first.
