President Obama's new America's Great Outdoors (AGO) initiative has launched a national dialogue about conservation in America. AGO is based on the tenet that lasting conservation solutions should start with the American people.
The Department of the Interior and other government agencies are hard at work talking with communities and implementing the recommendations of the AGO report, including creating a new nationwide system of Blue Trails.
And now they would like to update you on the progress they have made over the last few months.
Please join the Department of the Interior on Friday, June 10th at 2:00 pm, EDT, as Secretary Ken Salazar answers your questions at www.doi.gov/live about what they are doing to implement the AGO initiative and discuss how all American’s can enjoy rivers and the great outdoors.
To submit your questions in advance, send them to newmedia@ios.doi.gov. Otherwise ask them during the chat at www.doi.gov/live.
