“We applaud Senators Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Steve Daines (R-MT) for their persistent leadership to advance the most significant conservation legislation in nearly half a century – The Great American Outdoors Act. This important bipartisan legislation provides dedicated funding to the Land and Water Conservation Fund and addresses the maintenance backlog plaguing our national parks and treasured public lands. Utilizing public lands for responsible clean energy development is a win-win for the environment and the livelihood of our national parks. It creates immediate job opportunities, encourages outdoor recreation, and protects our public lands for generations to come.” – Heather Reams, Executive Director, Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES)
