Great American Outdoors Act Could Arrive Just in Time to Help America Recover

The current health crisis surrounding the nation and the world is, among many other things, a stark reminder of both the power of Mother Nature and the fragility of life. We are defined by our relationship with our environment, which is why character and tradition are so important. We must cherish our parks and protect our forest and wildlife areas.

When life gets back to normal, these national treasures will be an essential part of the recovery process for millions of Americans. It is therefore very reassuring to hear that when the U.S. Senate returns in April, one of its priorities will be the Great American Outdoors Act (S. 3422).
