The biggest news in America’s outdoors world is that Congress passed the Great American Outdoors Act. It provides funding for federal lands, many of which have a backlog of improvement projects that need to be taken care of. Over the next five years, the US will spend $9 Billion to repair infrastructure like roads and weather-damaged buildings. Everyone who enjoys visiting parks is cheering. The act just needs the president’s signature.
