Here’s what Trout Unlimited CEO Chris Wood has to say:
“Today is a day to celebrate the uniquely American idea of conservation. The Great American Outdoors Act embodies the idea that the most durable conservation is the most local conservation. Every single county in America has benefited from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and passage of this bill will ensure that continues apace. We thank Congress and President Trump for seeing this legislation across the finish line. Conservation is a bipartisan charge, and our work continues this Congress to pass common sense and bipartisan legislation such as the Public Lands Renewable Energy Development Act, reauthorization of the abandoned coal mine clean up program, and Good Samaritan legislation to clean up abandoned hardrock mines.”
