Promoting Diversity and Inclusion in Our National Parks, National Forests, and Other Public Lands and Waters

This memorandum directs four land and water management agencies to promote diversity and inclusion both in their federal workforces and in public access to national parks, forests, and other public lands. It mandates specific actions including workforce development programs, unconscious bias training, public liaison identification, and action plans to reduce barriers for minority, low-income, disabled, and tribal populations.
