Congress just passed a FY22 omnibus appropriations bill that, if signed into law, will provide desperately needed funding for parks and public lands.
Here's what's at stake:
- Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF): America’s best federal program to conserve open spaces across the country
- Readiness and Environmental Protection Initiative (REPI): Safeguards land around military bases where development could threaten critical habitat or environmental resources
- Community Forest Program (CFP): Protects forest lands that contribute to healthy, flourishing communities
- Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program (ORLP): Helps communities improve access to outdoor recreation
We cannot delay, even for a moment! We have our work cut out for us to reverse the damage resulting from years of underfunding and attacks on our protected public lands.
Now is the time to reclaim, repair, and restore our beautiful outdoor spaces for all of us and all who come after us. Please take a stand for public land now by signing the petition to President Biden today.
