Do you think the current administration will try to privatize federal lands / give it to the state?
Genuinely growing concerned as this would be a disaster. What do people think based off of recent trends?

Is it common for former chemical and nuclear weapons sites to be repurposed into public lands?
Colorado has at least two former chemical or nuclear weapons sites that are now public lands:
- Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge - Former nuclear weapons parts manufacturing site.
- Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge - Former chemical weapons manufacturing facility.
I'm trying to understand if this type of cleanup and repurposing into public lands is common? Or if it unique to these two sites. My assumption is this is not unique but I'm not personally aware of other examples. So if you can help me find some other examples I'd appreciate it.
Thank you in advance for your helpful responses and also your patience. If there is a more appropriate subreddit for this question please let me know. Thanks!
