Every Kid Outdoors Act

The Every Kid Outdoors Act, also known as Bill 115 hr 3186, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to provide all fourth-grade students in the United States with free access to federal lands and waters for educational and recreational purposes.

The bill aims to encourage children to explore and appreciate the great outdoors by granting them free access to national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and other federal lands. By providing this opportunity to fourth-grade students, the bill seeks to promote outdoor education, physical activity, and environmental stewardship.

In addition to providing free access to federal lands, the Every Kid Outdoors Act also includes provisions for transportation grants to help schools cover the costs of field trips to these outdoor destinations. This is intended to ensure that all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, have the opportunity to experience the benefits of outdoor education. Overall, the Every Kid Outdoors Act is a bipartisan effort to promote environmental education and outdoor recreation among America's youth. By providing free access to federal lands for fourth-grade students, the bill aims to instill a love of nature and a sense of responsibility for the environment in the next generation.
