Interagency Action

The Biden-Harris Administration launched an interagency effort, the Federal Interagency Council on Outdoor Recreation (FICOR), to create more safe, affordable, and equitable opportunities for Americans to get outdoors. FICOR will focus on investing in resilient infrastructure; creating more education and career opportunities in conservation and outdoor recreation; cooperating with state, Tribal, territorial and local governments; and improving equitable access to Federal lands and waters. FICOR was first created in 2011 but suspended under the Trump administration.
