'Listening tour' gathering information for effort to reconnect Americans with the great outdoors

In April President Obama established the America's Great Outdoors Initiative "to develop a conservation agenda worthy of the 21st Century and to reconnect Americans with our great outdoors." Now the Obama administration has launched a listening tour in which cabinet officials will gather feedback across the country about strategies to reconnect Americans with the outdoors. The tour has already stopped in 13 cities, with five more scheduled and more stops expected. You can find information about the five upcoming tour stops below or visit the initiative's website here.
