Public outcry over the crisis in parks funding has spurred legislators to increase funds to rehire laid-off park rangers and repair decrepit equipment and facilities. |

Land adjacent to Palo Duro Canyon State Park, known as Texas’ “Grand Canyon,” would be purchased and protected by the state if the Legislature appropriates funds for land acquisition. |
