House Passes Great American Outdoors Act
On Wednesday, July 22, 2020 The House of Representatives voted to  
approve the Great American Outdoors Act. This hard-fought victory has  
been a long time coming.

Thanks to all of you who called and wrote your Representatives to vote  
for this important conservation bill. This victory wouldn’t have  
happened without you.

The Great American Outdoors Act achieves the dual goals of protecting  
America’s federal public lands and repairing deteriorating  
infrastructure, thereby allowing more Americans to access public  
lands. These critical investments will benefit future generations. The  
Great American Outdoors Act is important for plant conservation  
because it contains language that requires native plants and natural  
infrastructure to be used in the projects funded by the bill.

The Great American Outdoors Act passed both the Senate and the House  
with wide bipartisan support and will now go to the President’s desk  
for his signature.
