It's official. President Trump just signed the Great American Outdoors Act! Finally secures full, permanent funding for the LWCF — important $ for natl parks, state parks, and local P&R. Thank you for all of your support. Time to celebrate this impactful and landmark victory!

GAOA-one more signature needed. The President in March,”I am calling on Congress to send me a Bill that fully and permanently funds the LWCF and restores our National Parks.When I sign it into law, it will be HISTORIC for our beautiful public lands...”https://t.co/9mX4MmFzHn

Landmark day for conservation & great outdoors! US House bipartisan 310-107 vote for Great American Outdoors Act, funds natlparks, public land maintenance, full & permanent funding of the LWCF, equitable allocation to Stateside Program. Senate already approved GAOA.

[Lewis Ledford @roan72]

In a historic vote, the Senate just passed the Great America Outdoors Act in a bipartisan 73-25 margin! It addresses the NPS backlog, and fully funds LWCF, that will greatly aid State and local parks! Moves to the House. Encourage your Rep to promptly pass this GAOA.

841 CCC camps in NPS sites; 2,500+ camps in America’s State Parks; CCC left us incredible "gifts." What a legacy! Pandemic shows the demand for access to great outdoors never greater. Our legacy as we respond to this national health and economic crisis?https://t.co/ZtTAyJmGuY

Who would have ever thought ... The good news - know that every day we are one day closer to this being over.

It's a Corona world ... buttons being passed out at a parks trust fund authority meeting.

Four senators. Two parties. One program with more than 54 years of conservation success in every U.S. state. Now is the time to fully and permanently #FundLWCF.

Thank you to champions @SenatorBurr, @SenatorCantwell, @SenCoryGardner and @Sen_JoeManchin.

Interesting report out this week on how we pay to play outside. Despite record visitation to state and national parks an other areas, funds stagnate.
