President Biden signed the FY22 omnibus appropriations bill during a signing ceremony at the White House.
The package includes dedicated funding for a number of Trust for Public Land projects, as well as programmatic funding to help create and expand parks and open space across the country, including:
- Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF): America’s best federal program to conserve open spaces across the country
- Readiness and Environmental Protection Initiative (REPI): Safeguards land around military bases where development could threaten critical habitat or environmental resources
- Community Forest Program (CFP): Protects forest lands that contribute to healthy, flourishing communities
- Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program (ORLP): Helps communities improve access to outdoor recreation
