We believe that everyone should have access to nature, and that when people feel connected to the land, they are more likely to protect it. Publicly accessible land plays a critical role in equalizing everyone’s access to outdoor recreation, and that’s why we’ve made a commitment to help protect public access to the outdoor recreation that exists, and advocate for more, for everyone.

The State of Outdoor Stewardship

At onX we believe that everyone should have access to nature, but we also realize that increased recreation means additional pressure on our public lands. And while most of us see the importance in stewardship, there’s a gap between the increasing number of outdoor enthusiasts and the percentage of those who give back to the lands that fuel their activities. Read the report to learn how we can encourage more outdoor stewardship and help preserve our access to the outdoors for the future.

Corner Crossing

We wanted to get the hard facts on corner-crossing, so we dove into the data. Read the report to learn how much land is involved, the concerns of affected property owners, and what can be done to address this complicated issue.

The Ultimate Guide to State Trust Lands

You may have public land at your fingertips you didn’t know about. Twenty states have state trust land (a.k.a. school land), and every one of those states has different access and activity rules, so we made it easy to look up which states allow hunting, off-roading, and backcountry activities so you can spend more time outside and less time on the internet.

Landlocked Reports

We worked with the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership to quantify the number of acres of public land that are landlocked, and therefore inaccessible to the public, and shared this information with land management agencies and policy makers.
