We at onX are thrilled with the passing of the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) that provides full and permanent funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) and establishes The National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund. We have continually prioritized the preservation of our nation’s public lands and our access onto them. We want to continue providing information and putting efforts towards opening access through our State and Federal landlocked Reports as well as our targeted Access Initiatives.
Here are a few words from our founder Eric Siegfried on the importance of this. “We've learned a lot about access challenges over the life of our company. There are a mountain of access challenges out there, and never even close to enough resources to make meaningful improvements. So, I'm thrilled to see the GAOA get passed and excited for what this means to those who currently enjoy our open spaces and for the coming generations of outdoor explorers. The LWCF was the policy solution that we and the TRCP were advocating for in our 2018 federal landlocked report, Off Limits, But Within Reach: Unlocking the West's Inaccessible Public Lands. Bipartisan legislation like this is crucial for protecting the future of our public lands.”
The success of the Great American Outdoors Act is the result of bipartisan efforts to preserve and restore public lands that have been plagued by deferred and inadequate funding. The legislation is evidence of our nation’s commitment to conservation and affinity for the outdoors.
We're so excited to see how this continues to improve our lands that we're going to be giving away 1 LIFETIME onX Hunt membership to a user who comments on this thread. We'll select a winner in a week.
Way to Go OnX Hunt.

Super grateful that this passed!
Good stuff indeed, hopefully all that money gets put to good use and can start lugging away at all of the maintenance backlogs and increasing more public access!
It's good to see our president doing positive things in these troubling times. OnX, kudos for helping support that positivity and helping to spread the news.
Alot of folks were happy to see it pass. Great deal.....
Good news on a great piece of legislation.
Great deal, thank you for the opportunity!
Good deal. Honestly OnX is the best money I spent hunting wise. I found a few good spots that I did not know were state or town owned without it! Good job
Wow. What a generous offer!
Awesome how we can celebrate the GAOA by using onX to get us where we need to go. Thanks for stepping up for hunters everywhere.
Hopefully this leads to more and more public access. Thanks!
This is really great news, along with the administration moving BLM out west were it belongs.

Best thing to come from 2020!
Great news and good idea here OnX
Always good to see tax money going towards something we can all benefit from in the future.
I'll echo Daydreamer, this is by far the best thing to happen in 2020. Now I just hope they put it to good use, especially here in MT where landlocked land is everywhere

Hooray for 'merica. Some positive news coming out of this fading culture. Billions of dollars a year rightfully going towards these wonderful lands. Thank you onX for any contributions you've made towards this effort or those like it. We must stay engaged or somebody will find another use for for these lands. I'm impressed this made it through to his desk with so many other issues on the media's agenda.
