Hillary Clinton has unveiled her plans for the environment, and one of the planks would be to create an American Parks Trust Fund with a "mission of helping to expand local, state, and national recreation opportunities, rehabilitate existing parks, and enhancing America’s great outdoors – from our forests and coasts to neighborhood parks."

The Democratic presidential candidate on Wednesday released the six-point plan, which also calls for revitalizing city parks, doubling the size of the outdoor economy over the next decade, and overseeing a "ten-fold increase in renewable energy production on public lands and waters within ten years."

"Today, our lands, waters, and wildlife are facing challenges that can only be solved through collaboration by leaders at all levels, from farmers and fishermen to city councils and tribal governments," reads a fact sheet put out by her campaign. "As a nation, we need policies and investments that incentivize this collaborative approach to stewardship. We should be helping ranchers who safeguard at-risk plants and animals, mayors who want to create more parks for kids, and industries that are working to cut wasteful water use."

Regarding the National Park System specifically, the campaign said that "America’s parks – national, state, and local – are falling into disrepair and facing new pressures. Though they are more popular than ever, our national parks have an $11.5 billion maintenance backlog of aging roads, visitor centers, and infrastructure that need to be modernized, and the park system itself does not sufficiently include cultural and historic sites that reflect the diversity of our country."

As she envisions it, the American Parks Trust Fund would "replace, expand the scope of, and provide funding at roughly double the authorized level of the Land and Water Conservation Fund to address infrastructure needs, reduce the maintenance backlog in national parks, forests, and public lands and more. It will accelerate private, state, tribal, and national efforts to protect at-risk wildlife habitat before it disappears. And it will provide more grants to local and state governments to create and improve open spaces and urban parks, including a new initiative to rehabilitate under-resourced urban parks. For the first time, it will also make Tribal Nations directly eligible for funding to restore their homelands."

As the Obama administration has done, Mrs. Clinton if elected would seek to add units to the National Park System that would touch various groups and cultures not already represented in the system.

"America’s national parks, memorials, and monuments should reflect the contributions of all Americans to our shared history and culture, yet communities of color, women, and LGBT Americans are currently underrepresented in the system," the fact sheet said. "Clinton will work to protect historic sites and cherished lands that should be added to our system of parks and public lands and waters to better reflect the diversity of our peoples and cultures."
