WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) and Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) announced that several New Hampshire projects have been selected to receive funding through the Land and Water Conservation Fund and the newly created National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund, which was established by the Great American Outdoors Act to support outdoor recreation, conservation efforts and address maintenance needs.

As a result of the bipartisan Great American Outdoors Act cosponsored by Shaheen and Hassan that was signed into law last year, the Land and Water Conservation Fund’s now-mandatory, full funding of $900 million was allocated to projects and programs in the fiscal year 2021 government funding legislation that became law in December.
