Celebrate the 55th birthday of the LWCF and Wilderness Act by taking
action to protect public lands!
Hi Friend,

Fifty-five years ago today, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Wilderness
Act and the Land and Water Conservation Act of 1964. The former
established millions of acres of federal land as protected wilderness, and
the latter created the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), America's
most important conservation program. Here in Nevada, we're home to over 70
wilderness areas throughout the state, and over five and a half decades,
have received over $100 million in federal dollars through the LWCF to
maintain many of [ [link removed] ]your favorite natural landmarks and outdoor recreation
spaces in Nevada.

Help us celebrate the LWCF turning fifty-five by [ [link removed] ]signing our petition
to save the program from budget cuts by calling on Congress to permanently
fund the program. Add your name to make sure our public lands are
preserved for generations to come! 

In addition, join us for a [ [link removed] ]Yucca Mountain Panel this Thursday,
September 5th, at the East Las Vegas Community Center at 6:00PM. Our
Executive Director, Annette Magnus, will be on a panel with Congresswoman
Dina Titus, the Nevada Conservation League, and the Center for Biological
Diversity to discuss the social and economic impacts of the project. 

Finally, be sure to [ [link removed] ]RSVP for the [ [link removed] ]2019 Public Lands Day celebration
happening Saturday, September 28th at Mountain's Edge Regional Park, from
10:00AM to 1:00PM. There will be free food and outdoor fun for all ages! 

Thanks for your help, and we hope you can make it to these events!

Will Pregman
