Dear [Your Elected Official],

I am writing to urge you to support the reauthorization of the Legacy Restoration Fund through the America the Beautiful Act (S. 1547) in the Senate and the Great American Outdoors Act 250 (H.R. 9250) in the House.
The Legacy Restoration Fund expired in September 2025, leaving behind a $41 billion maintenance backlog across our national parks and public lands. The America the Beautiful Act (S. 1547), led by Senators Steve Daines (R-MT) and Angus King (I-ME), recently advanced through the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee by unanimous bipartisan vote. In the House, the Great American Outdoors Act 250 (H.R. 9250), introduced by Chairman Bruce Westerman and Ranking Member Jared Huffman, is gaining momentum. Both bills would invest $9.5 billion over five years to address long-overdue maintenance needs—including trails, roads, campgrounds, and visitor facilities that millions of Americans rely on every year.
As an outdoor recreation advocate, I know how vital our public lands are to our communities, quality of life, and local economies. The Legacy Restoration Fund has been one of the most successful public lands investments in recent memory. Please support this critical reauthorization and ensure that America’s parks and public lands remain accessible, well-maintained, and ready for future generations.
Thank you for your attention to this important issue.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your City & State]

Summary

Congress is moving to reauthorize the Legacy Restoration Fund — and your voice matters now. The Legacy Restoration Fund expired in September 2025, leaving a $41 billion maintenance backlog across national parks, national forests, and other public lands. Trails, roads, campgrounds, and visitor facilities that outdoor enthusiasts depend on are at risk. The good news: there are now bipartisan bills in both chambers. The America the Beautiful Act (S. 1547), led by Senators Steve Daines (R-MT) and Angus King (I-ME), passed the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee by unanimous vote and is heading to the full Senate. In the House, the Great American Outdoors Act 250 (H.R. 9250), introduced by Chairman Bruce Westerman and Ranking Member Jared Huffman, is gaining momentum. Both bills would invest $9.5 billion over five years to restore our public lands. Send a message to your members of Congress now — urge them to support this critical reauthorization before July 4th.
