Friend,

Fall is here, and nature is calling! Whether your plans include jumping into a fresh pile of leaves, hiking in a national park, or sitting outside with friends and family, don’t let the season pass by without adding one important item to your fall pastime list: working to protect public lands.

From national parks and monuments, to national wildlife refuges, wilderness areas, seashores, and forests, our public lands benefit all of us in many ways. Yet despite overwhelming nationwide support for protecting these irreplaceable treasures, the Trump administration is continuing to threaten public lands and attempting to sell them off to the highest bidder. 

Public lands protect natural ecosystems and safeguard habitats, migration routes, and breeding grounds for thousands of different species. They mitigate climate change, sustain our clean water sources, and provide recreation opportunities that drive local economies. And they’re historically and culturally significant, protecting sites that are sacred to Tribal and other communities. These lands are too important to lose — for now and for future generations.

Spread the word about protecting public lands and clean water to your friends, family, and community with the LCV Shop!
