The House has overwhelmingly voted to pass the Natural Resources Management Act. The sweeping public lands bill adds over a million acres of protected wilderness, creates four new national monuments and expands eight existing national parks. A provision in the bill prevents mining in over 370,000 acres of land around two national parks, including Montana’s Yellowstone. The legislation would also permanently reauthorize the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, which lapsed last year. The bill, which was approved by the Senate earlier this month, now heads to the desk of President Trump.
