AUG 5th 2020 Free National Parks Day!

Post by SwordfishMining »

Trump has signed a bipartisan parks funding bill and tomorrow, entrance is free! Then it will be on the 4th of August yearly. Emphasis is being placed on acquiring new lands to protect rivers and habitat and yes it was less than they asked for & over half of the house Republicans voted against it.

"Entrance fees will be waived at all fee collecting public lands at the National Park Service (NPS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). The Department holds fee-free days throughout the year to encourage visitation and appreciation for America’s public lands. On fee-free days, site-specific standard amenity and day-use fees at recreation sites and areas will be waived for the specified dates. Other fees, such as overnight camping, cabin rentals, group day use, and use of special areas, will remain in effect."

The remaining fee-free days in 2020 are:
NPS:
August 5: Great American Outdoors Act Commemoration
August 25: National Park Service Birthday
