The House of Representatives has the opportunity to pass an outdoor recreation package called the EXPLORE Act! This is a bipartisan bill aimed at promoting equity, inclusion, and expanded access to the outdoors for all Americans.
Here are some highlights of the EXPLORE Act:
- free access to federal public lands and waters for fourth graders.
- enhanced outdoor recreation experiences for veterans and active duty members on federal lands.
- funding for outdoor recreation sites in economically disadvantaged communities.
- streamlined permitting processes for guides, outfitters, outdoor leaders and nonprofit organizations.
This legislation would improve the lives of young people, families, veterans, and people across so many communities. Take action now and ask your representative to support the EXPLORE Act!
