I can’t help but question if this is an opportunity for states like Colorado, with loads of ‘public’ lands to inherit their own management?!
I’d like to see folks who are quick to despair to consider potential upsides, but I don’t admittedly know what is the blowback?! Worst case, we do lose some recreation space as forests 
re-wild, but maybe that’s not entirely a bad thing?!
Can we ‘afford’ recreational spaces?! I think we can, and must, but maybe in the near-term it’s a boutique luxury temporarily lost to a genuinely desperate economic recovery 
My parents and grandparents survived the Great Depression, so I think we’re more resilient than we take ownership of?! I also think it’s worth considering a newly revised distribution model 
?! How do we spread and absorb the costs? Does a pay-to-play model make sense? Hunters and anglers are already used to paying fees for access. Are we guilty of taking access for granted, especially on perfectly groomed trails?!
I absolutely am in favor of prioritizing open spaces and Wilderness area access over say, DEI programs, or gain of function research on genetically engineered mosquitoes 
so God-willing if federal spending can be reined-in by DOGE, our nation’s interior can be reprioritized. Certainly, once the pentagon is properly audited and exorbitant Medicare costs are renegotiated more funds can be available to support and encourage outdoor recreation, a must to Make America Healthy Again!
