The link to public lands is, in fact, unequivocal. In the decades since, recreation received less attention. Having estimates of the contribution of outdoor recreation to GDP also helps put the sector on more of an equal footing with others where such economic statistics have long been more readily available. These include industries such as mining, forestry, and agriculture that also make use of public lands. In policy discussions that often focus, for better or worse, on how many jobs are gained or lost from particular programs or policies, having numbers for the outdoor recreation industry is helpful.

The new state government offices are also likely to draw more attention to public lands issues in policy and budgetary debates. Land stewardship is one of the four focal points in a new agreement signed by eight state representatives, thus we can expect some focus on public lands management, though it is unclear how much that will, or can, extend to federal lands.

Furthermore, the state offices have small staffs and low levels of funding ; much remains to be seen about how much influence they will have in state legislatures and on Capitol Hill. Despite these developments, the new movement does not directly address some of the problems our public lands face and could even make some worse. One of these is the congestion and underfunding problems in our national parks.
