Take Action
Urge Congress to protect these precious landscapes
Next Tuesday is Trust for Public Land’s “Virtual Day on the Hill,” where advocates like you around the country will write to Congress and the Biden administration to protect precious lands such as Avi Kwa Ame as national monuments.
Our Federal Affairs team has been working around the clock to urge members of Congress to protect our public lands and parks across the country. But with all the noise on Capitol Hill, we need help from dedicated advocates like you to break through and make an impact. To demonstrate the importance of land conservation, we are asking you to help us send 10,000 constituents to the Capitol virtually.
We need help to reach 200 public land advocates from your state. Will you help us by sending a message to President Biden and your members of Congress in support of protecting precious lands as national monuments?
Here are the landscapes at risk:
- Avi Kwa Ame, Nevada: Protect 380,000 acres of land sacred to multiple tribes and crucial to threatened wildlife, such as the elusive desert tortoise, from large-scale development.
- Castner Range, Texas: Safeguard incredible views, future outdoor recreation opportunities, prehistoric artifacts, and rare and endangered wildlife for generations to come.
- Berryessa Snow Mountain, California: Expand access to 3,925 acres of public land to preserve archeological sites and the health of forest land.
National monument landscapes are crucial to our physical, mental, and emotional health. Join us today and urge President Biden and your members of Congress to protect these culturally significant and biologically diverse landscapes now so we can keep these special places safe and accessible for generations to come.
