 More than four years ago, the National Parks Conservation Association and other partners joined efforts as part of the Restore Our Parks campaign to help tackle the nearly $12 billion deferred maintenance backlog of the National Parks Service. A separate decades-long campaign led by the Land and Water Conservation Fund, LWCF Coalition and their partners, worked to provide full permanent funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund. After years of extraordinary advocacy, these two campaigns joined to support the Great American Outdoors Act, which passed the Congress by overwhelmingly bipartisan votes and was signed into law on August 4, 2020. This landmark legislation will invest up to $9.5 billion to repair historic and other assets of the National Parks Service and other federal agencies, as well as fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund at $900 million annually. This represents the largest investment in historic resources in more than a generation. We are proud to honor the remarkable campaign championed by the National Parks Conservation Association, the National Park Foundation and the Core Network to address the deferred maintenance needs of federal lands and the LWCF Coalition, the Nature Conservancy and the Trust for Public Land for securing full permanent funding for the LWCF. Honored to accept this award on behalf of the LWCF Coalition, we have worked for decades to fulfill a promise to the American people to fully and permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund. A key voice in that effort was yours, so thank you to the National Trust for your unwavering commitment. The Great American Outdoors Act is a major step towards fixing our National Parks, but this is just the first step. Congress must provide the robust funding so that America's most iconic and inspirational places continue to thrive now and into the future, and so we can increase access to public lands for all, no matter where they live. One piece at a time, LWCF has protected innumerable special places, from Banda Lear, to Harper's Ferry, to Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthplace, to Flight 93, and everywhere in between. But our history is still being told, and now because of your work with the Coalition, LWCF is permanently funded. Your efforts to protect and preserve our current and future heritage for every generation is assured. So thank you again for this award and for all you have done to achieve this landmark victory. We hope you will continue to join us. Thank you again for this wonderful honor.
