Efforts underway for the renewal of the Outdoors Act concerning natural resources management
The House Natural Resources Committee is set to hold a field hearing in Grand Teton National Park on Friday, with the focus on the reauthorization and reform of the Great American Outdoors Act. This landmark legislation, signed into law by President Donald Trump during his first term in office, aims to enhance public access, improve infrastructure, and create new outdoor recreation opportunities at national parks.
The Great American Outdoors Act, set to expire in September, sends $1.6 billion annually to the Legacy Restoration Fund for deferred maintenance needs at America's national parks and other public lands. Despite the funding provided by the Act, the deferred maintenance backlog at these sites has continued to grow.
The hearing will delve into the possible enhancements to national parks through the reauthorization and reform of the Great American Outdoors Act. It will explore ways to further improve national parks' infrastructure, assess the potential benefits for public access, and investigate the potential for new outdoor recreation opportunities.
The hearing will also evaluate the potential impact of reauthorizing and reforming the Act on infrastructure at national parks. This includes examining the potential improvements to parks' infrastructure and the potential creation of new outdoor recreation opportunities.
It is worth noting that the Great American Outdoors Act received bipartisan support in Congress, underscoring its importance and relevance to both parties. The committee will further discuss the opportunities to reauthorize and reform the Act, with the aim of ensuring its continued success in addressing the needs of America's national parks.
The hearing will be a significant step towards ensuring the long-term preservation and enhancement of America's national parks, providing opportunities for future generations to enjoy these treasured landscapes. The insights gained from the hearing will undoubtedly contribute to the ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the infrastructure, accessibility, and recreational opportunities at these iconic sites.
