You did it! Your voice matters! Thank you!
With a resounding 310-107 vote, the U.S. House of Representatives just passed the Great American Outdoors Act! This historic vote marks a turning point in American conservation, capping off decades of hard work by outdoor organizations, conservation champions, sportsmen and women and YOU. It's time to celebrate!
Together, we made good on a promise from 1964, permanently dedicating the revenues intended for the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and made an overdue investment in some of our most critical fish and wildlife habitat. The Great American Outdoors Act is a momentous achievement in the name of our most prized American landscapes and outdoors legacy. It’s a once in a generation piece of conservation and public access legislation that will have impacts for generations to come.
Read what BHA staff, members of Congress, our partners and leaders from across the BHA community have to say about this historic moment here.
We will revel in this win for our lifetimes, and, tonight, let us raise a glass to the hard work that made this happen and the legislators in Congress who heard our voices! This bill is heading straight to the president's desk; let us cheer it on!
Take a moment to thank the representatives who voted YES here.
Thank you for your advocacy!
