Contact Congress about H.R. 3286: Mammoth Cave National Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2025

The federal government could add about 551 nearby acres to Mammoth Cave National Park. The bill also updates an old $350,000 limit so it rises with inflation.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Mammoth Cave National Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Subcommittee Hearings Held.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects landowners, local governments, park managers, and visitors near Mammoth Cave National Park. The biggest change is that nearby land could move into federal park management if the government acquires it. The bill could also affect future planning for recreation, conservation, and land use around the park.

Why this matters: This bill matters because land near Mammoth Cave could shift into national park control. That could change how the land is used, protected, and opened to visitors. The bill also updates a 1942 dollar limit so it reflects today's prices, but it does not say what the total cost would be.

Key provisions in H.R. 3286

  • An old $350,000 legal limit would rise with inflation. The bill uses the Consumer Price Index from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the federal office that tracks price changes.
  • The Secretary of the Interior could acquire about 551.14 acres near Mammoth Cave National Park. The bill also covers rights in that land, not just full ownership.
  • The land would join Mammoth Cave National Park after the federal government acquires it. It would then be inside the park's official boundary.
  • The bill points to one exact map. It is titled "Mammoth Cave National Park Proposed Southern Boundary Expansion Edmonson and Barren Counties, Kentucky," map number 135/177,967.
  • The bill allows the land purchase but does not require it. The key phrase is "may acquire," which means the Secretary has permission to act.
