Friend,
Our national parks should feel wild and whole, but many of them remain fragmented.
Across 433 National Park Service sites, about 15,000 privately owned parcels -- totaling 2.5 million acres -- sit within national park boundaries. These areas block visitor access, disrupt wildlife corridors, complicate wildfire management, and leave parks exposed to development that doesn't belong.
There is one proven tool designed to address this problem: the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) -- but some policymakers are trying to weaken this powerful tool.
Urge Congress to protect LWCF and complete our national parks!

TAKE ACTION NOW

Created more than 60 years ago, LWCF is our nation's most effective tool for acquiring private land within national parks. It empowers willing sellers and public agencies to work together to unlock private property for everyone's benefit.
If lawmakers divert LWCF funds away from conservation, it will undermine the fund's purpose and put cherished lands at risk of irreversible development.
Urge Congress to safeguard the Land and Water Conservation Fund and ensure our parks and public lands remain whole.
