Explanation:
In the midst of the current pandemic and its adjacent challenges, we could all use a little good news. This news is great.
If the Great American Outdoors Act, recently passed by the Senate and now sitting on President Trump’s desk, is half of what it claims to be, it’s an amazing accomplishment that will go a long way toward preserving our greatest resource — the great outdoors — for future generations.
The act makes permanent the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which previously had only been passed for years at a time, and fully funds it to the tune of up to $900 million a year. It does so, not with tax money, but with revenue collected from companies involved in offshore oil and gas drilling.
The act also addresses backlog upon backlog of maintenance needs for our national parks — up to $1.9 billion a year for fiscal years 2021 through 2025. That’s a good start, considering the National Park Service has reported more than $11 billion in work on roads, buildings, utilities and facilities that has been delayed by more than a year because of budget constraints.
The new funding will likely create an additional 100,000 direct and indirect new jobs, according to the Department of the Interior.
“Passing this bill would be as historic for conservation and outdoor recreation as the original passage of LWCF 56 years ago,” The Nature Conservancy’s Interim CEO Sally Jewell said in a press release. “I have been to national parks and other public lands in every state. These are places of respite, and places that we can all go to celebrate our history, our culture, our challenges and our triumphs. They are places I go with my grandchildren now to help them understand what a gift we have in our public lands, and I’m glad to see Congress act to preserve that gift for future generations.”
