Department of Agriculture will invest $285 million to help the Forest Service address critical deferred maintenance and improve transportation and recreation infrastructure on national forests and grasslands. This investment was made possible by the newly created National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund (LRF), established in 2020 by the Great American Outdoors Act.
These funds will allow the Forest Service to implement more than 500 infrastructure improvement projects essential to the continued use and enjoyment of national forests and grasslands.
A total of 556 LRF projects have been authorized by Congress to begin implementation in FY21, including 95 for California.
