Friend, yesterday, we saw the power of our collective voice.  

The House Appropriations Committee rejected a dangerous proposal to gut the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). Together, we helped protect the parks where children play, the trails where we find peace, and the landscapes that define our nation’s spirit.

But the fight isn’t over. We remain concerned about harmful cuts to our federal land management agencies and national parks. As the Senate takes up the spending bill, we need to make our message clear: 

➡️ Tell your senators to champion LWCF and maintain critical investments that strengthen conservation, support local economies, and safeguard the future of our national parks.  

LWCF has been the backbone of conservation in America for more than 60 years. It's protected iconic places such as Rocky Mountain National Park and Golden Gate Park and helped communities in every state create parks, trails, and public lands—all without costing taxpayers a dime!

If we’re serious about protecting land and water and ensuring equitable access to the outdoors (which we are!), we need bold leadership from the Senate right now.

Friend, call on your senators to champion LWCF and preserve critical conservation investments.

Let’s protect the places we cherish so our children and grandchildren can cherish them too.

Yours in conservation,  

Myke Bybee
