The House on Wednesday passed a massive conservation and public lands bill, the Great American Outdoors Act, with a vote of 310-107, and which President Donald Trump has pledged to sign.

Over the next five years, it will put over $9 billion towards the nation’s massive backlog in needed maintenance for roads, facilities, and more. The Great American Outdoors Act will fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF).
