SRES 279 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution designating June 2025 as "Great Outdoors Month".

SRES 279 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating June 2025 as "Great Outdoors Month" to recognize the importance of outdoor recreation. It encourages all U.S. residents to responsibly participate in outdoor activities during June 2025 and year-round, referencing economic data showing outdoor recreation contributed $1.2 trillion to the U.S. economy in 2023. The resolution does not create new laws, funding, or obligations - it is purely a commemorative designation with no direct policy impact on specific groups or programs. It follows prior Senate resolutions about outdoor recreation but has no enforcement mechanism.
