Interior appropriations finally moving forward

Created by Bethanie Walder on July 23, 2010

The House Interior and Environmental Appropriations subcommittee approved legislation yesterday to provide Forest Service and other agency and environmental funding for fiscal year 2011.  While there are many steps yet to go, we are very happy to report that the subcommittee included $90 million for the Forest Service Legacy Roads and Trails Remediation Initiative. For more information, read the news directly from Congressman Norm Dicks' office.

This is the same amount the program was funded at in FY10, and we are hopeful that the number will stay at $90  million in the final bill when it is eventually approved by both the House and Senate.  We'll keep you posted.
