ACC Joins Letter In Support of Great American Outdoors Act
WASHINGTON — The American Conservation Coalition (ACC) joined The Nature Conservancy and more than 850 organizations in support of the Great American Outdoors Act.
Introduced earlier this year, the legislation would address the $12+ billion National Parks Service maintenance backlog as well as fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
ACC Vice President of Government Affairs Quill Robinson said: “Our National Parks and public lands are part of our heritage as Americans. By protecting and investing in them, we will ensure that generations to come will benefit from America’s best idea. The American Conservation Coalition is proud to support the Great American Outdoors Act because it will protect this heritage and support the hundreds of thousands of Americans whose livelihoods are connected to our National Parks. Our members on over 200 campuses across the country urge Congress to act on this historic piece of legislation.”
This coalition includes a diverse slate of national, regional, state, and local organizations.
