U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senators Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and Gary Peters (D-Mich.) today announced that their bipartisan resolution to designate the month of June as “Great Outdoors Month” passed the U.S. Senate last evening.
“In Montana, our outdoor way of life is what sets us apart and makes us the Last Best Place. As an avid outdoorsman myself, I’m proud to work with Senator Peters on this bipartisan resolution that celebrates the amazing natural beauty we’re lucky to have here in America. I hope everyone takes some time to get outside and enjoy our parks and lands this summer!” said Daines.
“From being out on the Great Lakes to hiking through our amazing state and national parks, there’s nothing like a Michigan summer. That’s why, every year, both Michiganders and visitors travel the state to explore our remarkable lakes and landscapes. I’m proud that the Senate passed this resolution, and I’ll keep fighting to protect our precious natural resources so all Americans can enjoy our great outdoors,” said Peters.
