By Samone Blair

The Great American Outdoors Act, which will fund repairs and updates in national parks and other public lands, passed the U.S. House Wednesday and awaits President Trump’s signature.

The National Park Service and other public land agencies will receive up to $1.9 billion each year for the next five fiscal years. The money will be used to modernize campgrounds, marinas, visitors’ centers, and trails.
