SALT LAKE CITY The $2.3 trillion spending bill passed by Congress this week included conservation and environmental protection in addition to providing economic support to Americans impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The massive pandemic relief bill passed by Congress on Monday providing $892 billion for COVID-19 relief and another $1.4 trillion in omnibus spending will provide assistance to Americans and businesses negatively impacted by the pandemic, according to the Associated Press. It still needs final approval from President Donald Trump to become law.
However, the bill does a lot more than provide pandemic relief funding. The funding package targets many other things, including environmental conservation-focused legislation that several conservation groups mostly lauded this week.

SALT LAKE CITY The entertainment industry has experienced rapid changes over the past two decades, but 2020 has presented a host of new problems and accelerated evolution.
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented many problems for the entertainment industry. Movie theaters have remained closed for most of the year throughout the country, according to NPR. As a result, the release dates for movies like A Quiet Place Part II and Wonder Woman 1984 were delayed and films like Mulan were released in an online-only environment.
Musicians have been unable to adhere to normal live performance schedules as tours were canceled and small venues were closed, according to NBC. To stay afloat, artists developed new and creative strategies to connect with their audiences via platforms like Zoom through virtual concerts.
JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK Between COVID-19 restrictions and cold winter weather, options for travel, camping and hiking are pretty limited for Utahns.
Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California is one place you can travel to find warm temperatures outdoors. Here are three great hikes in the park for you to check out.
Fortynine Palms Oasis Trail
Fortynine Palms Oasis Trail is a stunning, short and somewhat strenuous trek through barren terrain into a small oasis of palm trees and lush greens in the middle of the desert. This 3.1-mile, out-and-back hike is just outside the town of Twentynine Palms, according to All Trails. And despite its short length, it contains 636 feet of elevation gain.
