About the Autumn Colors set: Includes 10 different designs featuring photographs by nature and garden photographer Allen Rokach (1941-2021). Each photograph was taken at a different location across the United States, a perfect way to emphasize the nationwide beauty of autumn.
History the stamp represents: According to the 2020 United States Census, approximately 80 percent of Americans live in urban areas. This means many are unable to simply walk outside and enjoy the beauty of nature in their own backyards. Thankfully, the United States has established many public lands, which afford similar outdoor opportunities.
Federal public lands include our national parks, scenic rivers, national monuments, wilderness areas, and more. They are managed by the US Department of the Interior and encompass almost 250 million acres throughout all 50 states. If you add state, county, and municipal parks to the mix, everyone in the United States has public lands they can enjoy in their own area.
Autumn is an especially great time of year to take advantage of public lands. There might not be many trees in your backyard, but nearby public areas are sure to have some to enjoy. Pick a day with nice weather, pack up the family or grab some friends, bring a few snacks and drinks, and check out your local area. The beauty of the yellow, orange, and red leaves make the perfect backdrop for a relaxing fall day. You’ll make lots of happy memories that you can look back on many years down the road.
