Friend, what do all the dots on the map below have in common?
|
Each one marks a park, trail, playground, or wild place protected by the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF)—America’s most effective tool for expanding outdoor access.
For over 55 years, LWCF has helped safeguard millions of acres nationwide. But the administration’s proposed 2026 budget would gut LWCF funding—derailing urgent land protection efforts and undoing decades of progress. |
Take a look—can you spot your state or community? Imagine what could be lost if we don’t take action now. |
Trust for Public Land has helped communities in every state use LWCF to create and protect the places that matter most—from ball fields and neighborhood parks to national forests and wildlife refuges.
Funded by offshore oil and gas fees—not taxes—LWCF turns extraction into conservation. It costs nothing to taxpayers but benefits everyone. Chances are, it’s helped protect a place you know and love.
The bottom line? The Land and Water Conservation Fund is essential to protecting land and creating parks.
If Congress moves forward with these cuts, it could stall or halt critical conservation projects across the country. But together, we can stop this.
Tell Congress: Protect LWCF. Oppose these cuts today!
Thank you for standing up for our public lands.
Yours in conservation,
