"In the summer of 2020, conservationists around the country cheered when the
Great American Outdoors Act overwhelmingly passed Congress with bipartisan
majorities, authorizing billions of dollars for needed repairs at national
parks and other public lands.
This victory was the culmination of decades of work and only possible thanks to
the dedication of thousands of passionate advocates who wrote messages, called
their senators and representatives, and visited every single congressional
office, demanding that lawmakers fund critical repairs and conservation needs
at our national parks.
In just two years, the Great American Outdoors Act has funded more than 220
repair projects across the National Park System while contributing $3.8 billion
to economic output and creating more than 36,000 jobs.
Here are just nine of the much-needed improvement projects actively underway at
parks — from trail repair to interpretation to plumbing — as a result of this
landmark bill."
