The Department of the Interior and Agriculture Department praised conservation programs Thursday without mentioning they are largely funded by fossil fuel drilling.
"The Great American Outdoors Act allows us to increase outdoor recreation opportunities, improve infrastructure on our public lands, invest in the U.S. economy, and honor our commitment to Tribal communities," Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said in a statement.

"Funding made possible through the Great American Outdoors Act’s Legacy Restoration Fund allows us to enhance equitable access for recreators, create job opportunities, advance community well-being and improve rural and urban economies," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack added.
