Porter urges increased budget for children's National Parks program
Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.), the chair of the House Natural Resources Committee's oversight subcommittee, called on the House Appropriations Committee to increase the budget of a program aimed at increasing children's access to national parks.
In a "Dear Colleague" letter to Committee Chair Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) and ranking member David Joyce (R-Ohio), Porter called for the panel to appropriate $25 million to the National Park Service's Every Kid Outdoors program. The funding request would represent a $5 million increase from the $20 million requested in previous presidential budgets since the program was established in 2015.
