These lands hold a spectacular array of plant life, wildlife, unique geological features, endless recreation opportunities and significant historical and cultural values. The rugged landscape has retained much of its unspoiled character over the centuries and, as a result, offers outstanding opportunities for solitude and dispersed recreation.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women in the United States. Smoking is believed to cause 80-90 percent of lung cancer cases, but there are several additional risk factors.
You can reduce your risk of developing lung cancer by following this guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
- Don’t smoke. If you do smoke, quit.
- Avoid secondhand smoke.
- Have your home tested for radon and take corrective actions if high levels are discovered.
- Be aware of your exposure to radiation from medical imaging, especially images of the chest.
- Follow health and safety guidelines when working with toxic materials such as asbestos.
- Avoid diesel exhaust and other harmful air pollutants.
Different people experience different symptoms of lung cancer. Some symptoms may include shortness of breath; coughing that doesn’t go away; wheezing; coughing up blood; chest pain; and repeated respiratory infections.
If you have symptoms that concern you, see your doctor.

| The federal government provides more than $150 billion in grants, loans, and work-study funds to students each year. |
| In order to get that money, you must first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, commonly called the FAFSA. |
| Completing and submitting the FAFSA is free and easier than ever, and it gives you access to the largest source of financial aid to pay for college or career school. |
| In addition, many states and colleges use your FAFSA data to determine your eligibility for state and school aid, and some private financial aid providers may use your FAFSA information to determine whether you qualify for their aid. |
