The free lifetime pass will be available starting on Veterans Day 2022, as a thank you to military personnel and their families for their service.
the new pass will be available starting on Friday, which is Veterans Day, as a thank you to military personnel and their families for their service.
It can also be used at national wildlife refuges, as well as standard amenity fees at national forests and grasslands, and at lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, officials said."Our national forests and grasslands represent so much of the beauty of the nation our brave service members have sacrificed so much for," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement.
National Park Service Director Chuck Sams called the lifetime pass "a small token of appreciation for veterans who have bravely dedicated their lives to defending our freedom." The Alexander Lofgran Veterans in Parks Act, passed in December 2021, authorized the free lifetime access to federal lands to veterans and Gold Star families. The legislation was named after, a Wounded Warrior Fellow and former aide to Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva, D-Ariz., who died last year in a hiking accident in Death Valley National Park.
