Thanks to the Great American Outdoors Act Legacy Restoration Fund, a new creek crossing at Alkali Creek in South Dakota now provides safer, easier access to picnic areas at Fort Meade Campground and the Centennial Trail. Investments like these help preserve America’s public lands, improve access for visitors, and strengthen outdoor recreation opportunities that support local communities. @BLM_MTDKs

For 100 years, Route 66 has captured the spirit of freedom, adventure, and the American road trip. This year marks the centennial of the legendary “Mother Road." 🚗🌵 Did you know....Northwestern Arizona is home to one of the longest remaining drivable stretches of the original highway. The Route 66 Historic Back Country Byway offers a rare chance to experience the road much as travelers did decades ago — rugged desert scenery, historic mining communities, wildlife habitat, and breathtaking Mojave Desert views. Whether you're a lifelong Route 66 fan or planning your first road trip, there’s never been a better time to explore this historic corridor. @blmarizona

Interior generated over $14 billion last year from energy and mineral development on public lands and waters, making it one of the largest sources of non-tax revenue for the U.S. government. A significant portion goes directly to the @USTreasury, with the rest benefiting states, tribes, and conservation efforts. From oil and gas to minerals and geothermal energy, these resources fuel our economy!

Check in on your crew and colleagues. A buddy check can go a long way. Taking a moment to ask how someone is doing shows you care and creates space for support. During Mental Health Awareness Month, make it a habit to check in with friends and coworkers. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MHAM2026
