By Charles Pekow — The Great American Outdoors Act Congress passed this year is beginning to bear fruit. The U.S Department of the Interior announced the first round of grants to clean up the backlog of deferred maintenance on public land.
Interior didn’t announce funding figures, but the projects it will support include improving and expanding access to 34 miles of trails in the Bureau of Land Management Canyon County District in Utah.
Additionally, Interior will improve bicycle access to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming along Moose Wilson Road at both the north and south ends of the park.
