Parks and Wildlife Get Stimulus
Stimulus bill contains a lot of money that could be spent on parks, fish, wildlife, forest roads and trails-
The stimulus bill contains a rare infusion of major money for projects related to wildlife, fish, forest thinning, repair of decaying infrastructure, and more (folks are still looking).
If used correctly, this could create a lot of jobs and really improve the environment and local economies. If used wrong, long-lasting damage could result.
Bill Schneider thinks it will be positive. Parks and Wildlife Get Stimulus. Obama’s massive spending bill funds national park infrastructure and finds innovative ways to improve fish and wildlife habitat. By Bill Schneider. New West.
The devil is in the details, and what projects and what kind of projects get funded will depend on the competing wishes of green groups, brown groups, local and state public officials, individual activists, etc. So keep alert.
