Great News for Public Lands

With all the focus on COVID-19 these days, it's great to hear that other things are being accomplished in Washington. Today, the Great American Outdoors Act was signed into law, providing for the care of parks and public lands without additional cost to taxpayers. It is funded by royalties paid by companies who drill for oil and gas on public lands, on the premise that some of the profits earned by depleting non-renewable resources should be used to restore other resources. This bipartisan measure was supported by numerous companies, non-profits, and legislators from both parties. Learn more about the Act and its impact here.
