Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park Establishment Act Amendments Act of 2025

Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.

Bill 119 HR 986, also known as the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park Boundary Adjustment Act, aims to expand the boundaries of the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Vermont. The park, which was established in 1992, currently encompasses 643 acres of land and is dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of conservationists George Perkins Marsh, Frederick Billings, and Laurance Rockefeller.

The proposed expansion of the park's boundaries would allow for the inclusion of additional land and resources that are significant to the history and conservation efforts of the individuals the park honors. This expansion would provide more opportunities for visitors to learn about the important contributions of Marsh, Billings, and Rockefeller to the field of conservation and environmental stewardship.

In addition to expanding the park's boundaries, the bill also includes provisions for the management and protection of the newly acquired land. This includes ensuring that the land is preserved in a way that is consistent with the park's mission and goals, as well as providing for the maintenance and upkeep of the expanded park. Overall, the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park Boundary Adjustment Act seeks to enhance the educational and recreational opportunities available at the park, while also ensuring that the legacy of Marsh, Billings, and Rockefeller continues to be preserved for future generations.
