Need Some Good News? Congress Passes the Great American Outdoors Act
Congress today passed the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA), a critical step to sustaining nature and everyone’s access to it.

It does so by permanently funding the existing Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) and creating a new fund to pay for necessary repairs and maintenance of park infrastructure.
