Dear National Park
Advocate,
National parks are another step closer to getting the care they need
and deserve, but they need one thing to make it across the finish
line: your voice.
In an overwhelming, bipartisan vote, the U.S. Senate has passed a bill
to address backlogged park repairs and permanently fund the successful
Land and Water Conservation Fund. Now leaders like need to pass the same bill
through the House of Representatives so parks -- and park communities
-- can finally get the relief they need.
Tell your U.S. representative that you want them to do everything they
can to pass the Great American Outdoors Act right away!

Parks and gateway communities are suffering through hard times... but
shovel-ready projects to fix national parks could bring much-needed
support to local economies that rely on outdoor recreation and
tourism. That's one of the reasons the Senate has already passed this
bipartisan bill -- and one of the reasons it's so important for park
advocates to keep speaking out until the job is done.
National parks face at least $11.9 billion in backlogged repairs --
that's everything from trail maintenance to visitor center repairs to
replacing old and unsafe electrical wiring.
Not only is the Great American Outdoors Act a big step in tackling
parks' maintenance needs, it would also provide crucial funding for
the Land And Water Conservation Fund -- one of the most successful
conservation programs ever.
For more than a decade, we've all worked together to push leaders in
Washington to get serious about park repairs. NPCA, along with our
friends and allies have held thousands of meetings with legislators,
we've made their phones ring off their hooks and we've filled their
inboxes and newspapers with messages of support for national parks.
That work paid off in a big way for national parks -- if the House of
Representatives finishes the job next week.
Tell your U.S. representative to support America's national parks by
passing the Great American Outdoors Act!

Thank you for all you've done to get us here. And thank you for all
you do for America's national parks.
