Plain-English Summary

This bill would expand Joshua Tree National Park in California by adding more land to its current boundaries, giving the park more area to protect desert ecosystems and wildlife. The expansion would affect visitors who use the park, local communities near the park, and conservation groups interested in preserving the unique Joshua Tree desert landscape. The proposal is currently being reviewed by congressional committees to determine how much land should be added and what the impacts would be.
