Summary: 
The Open for Questions Great Outdoors live chat took place yesterday, with Secretary Salazar and Secretary Vilsack answering questions from YouTube and Facebook.

Yesterday, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, hosted a live chat to answer your questions about the America's Great Outdoors initiative. The initiative seeks to reinvigorate our approach to conservation and reconnect Americans, especially our youth, with the lands and waters that are used for farming and ranching, hunting and fishing, and for families to spend quality time together, as well as education purposes.  They took questions from YouTube videos and Facebook participants from across the country on ways to develop a conservation and recreation agenda that makes sense for the 21st century.
