The Department of Interior on Wednesday said the federal government is waiving fees on national parks, wildlife refuges and other federal lands for fifth graders and their families who didn’t get to use a pass designated for fourth grade students when parks were closed at the height of the pandemic earlier this spring. The waiver is effective now and will be good through August 2021. For more information and to download your voucher to get your free pass go to https://www.nps.gov/kids/fifthgrade.htm. 5th graders and their families will have free access to 2,000 public parks and locations across 400 million acres to hike, fish, bike, hunt and embark on more outdoor activities. More Americans have rediscovered the great outdoors as a result of nationwide shutdowns. Indeed, a study from last month found that nearly 6 in 10 Americans reported a new appreciation for nature during the quarantine. Getting fresh air is known to boost moods and mental health. Getting outside and being exposed to the elements has a myriad of benefits on mental health and wellness, a number of studies have shown.
