Conservationists, recreationists, hikers, bird watchers, campers, bicyclists, and recreationists of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life are beyond belief at the passage of this monumental bill. According to environmental reporter Ima Tyredowaetin, \u201cI never ever thought I would ever see in my lifetime a time when the government finally started giving our public lands the funding and backing they need.\u201d News of this monumental appropriations bill that aims to put funding for national parks, forests, wildlife refuges and the national trails system on par with other government functions like defense, paying down the national debt and transportation elicited similar responses.<\/p>\n
Hunter Fischer a lifelong Republican responded, \u201cAbout time Congress is being serious about making our public lands great again!\u201d Forrest Walker a lifelong Democrats simply paraphrased a famous Biden line when he served as vice president, \u201cthis is a big f*&%ing deal!\u201d And Birdie Admyra, an Independent responded, \u201cit\u2019s so refreshing to see the country finally come together and rally around one of our country\u2019s greatest assets- our public lands!\u201d And this new bill looks to finally get our park and trail system up to par to accommodate our growing county\u2019s interest in outdoor recreation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s surreal,\u201d says Monet Welspent. \u201cFinally our government is spending our tax dollars in a way most Americans can rally behind. Folks from all over the country are really going to benefit from this bill.\u201d She continued. \u201cIt really is unbelievable!\u201d And sadly it is. April Fools! I wish it wasn\u2019t. But hey I can dream can\u2019t I? And maybe, just maybe someday this will be a real news release! In the meanwhile let\u2019s all work together toward caring and advocating for our parks, trails and public lands! No fooling there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
