Hey Guys I'm giving a speach on protecting public lands and I'm trying to get a list of the most recent 10 areas closed to public access. If there could be reason's for the closures that would be even better. It doesn't have to be 10 but ya'll kinda get the jist of it

Most public lands don't get closed completely. Rather, they have seasonal closures to protect habitat for raptors or they close particular sectors within a park to protec archeological sites.

I'm not sure where the most recent closures are, but Boulder Mountain Parks (Colorado) and Heuco Tanks State Park (Texas) are two examples of the above. National Parks have restriction on permanent anchors. Great Falls National Park is probably going to enact further restrictions on climbers. See my signature site for details. The Access Fund might have some useful information also.
