The numbers, right now
What's actually on the table.
640M
Acres of US public land — managed by federal agencies for everyone, owned by no one.
$22B
Deferred maintenance + repair backlog at the National Park Service.
5M
US jobs supported by outdoor recreation — across hunting, fishing, surfing, snow, and trail.
What 5% actually buys
Public land needs more than your good wishes. It needs lawyers, lobbyists, and field staff.
5% of every Wildlands Co. order goes to organizations doing exactly that — protecting access for hunters, anglers, surfers, riders, and everyone else who shows up outside.
We're in the partner-selection phase. The full list and the first dollar amounts publish in our launch report — you'll be able to verify the math.
