For 50 years, the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) has helped safeguard America's cherished places. It has preserved lands in every county, supporting National Parks like the Grand Canyon and protecting vital wildlife habitat, neighborhood parks, and historic places, while providing access to public lands for outdoor and wildlife-based recreation.
LWCF is not funded from taxpayer dollars, but instead reinvests a small portion of federal offshore drilling fees into the long-term conservation of important natural places. While LWCF is authorized to spend $900 million every year, it has been chronically underfunded. More than $17 billion has been diverted away from these crucial projects.
Without action, this landmark law will expire on September 30!
Please sign this petition to support bipartisan legislation that will permanently authorize and fund the LWCF.
To whom it may concern:
I urge you to reauthorize and fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF).
Without action, this critical and popular law will expire on September 30. Please support the bipartisan efforts to permanently authorize and fund LWCF at its Congressionally-approved level.
