National Parks legislation seen as long term boon for outdoors
The Senate backed a measure to fund national parks and public lands, ensuring the Land and Water Conservation Fund receives 900 million annually and adding 9.5 billion for maintenance, with broad cross party support and endorsements from major conservation groups. The bill includes a permanent funding source from offshore oil and gas royalties and targets backlogs across parks, trails, and facilities while expanding land acquisition. It faces House approval before President Trump signs it, as parks rebound from the pandemic with rising visitation.
