The Department of the Interior has announced $195 million in funding for climate restoration and resilience projects over the next decade for national parks.
“From protecting species to rebuilding outdoors infrastructure, this investment will support ongoing efforts to protect and preserve our nation’s most cherished places,” said National Park Service Director Chuck Sams.
The investment includes an initial $44 million for work in fiscal year 2023 to advance the Biden administration’s 30×30 plan.
The investment is part of $2 billion in overall investments through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act to restore the nation’s lands and waters, the agency said.
