October 2021

With the arrival of Fall comes the end of the fiscal year in Washington, and ConservAmerica is closely monitoring Congress as it works to wrap up a spending bill and an infrastructure package. Our country desperately needs enhanced and augmented infrastructure and facilities to protect our environment and remain economically competitive, but investments must be done in a way that sustainably manages taxpayer resources as well.

ConservAmerica is focused on advocating for solutions that are pragmatic and viable in a challenging political era. We believe policymakers can find common ground in policies that protect the environment and foster economic growth, and we know that stakeholders have a role in shaping these pieces of legislation and supporting them as they make their way through Congress.  

We’re proud of our work supporting the Roosevelt Conservation Caucus (RCC), whose members are sponsoring bills that fulfill ConservAmerica’s goals. On the ConservAmerica website you’ll find a section that highlights these priority bills, and we invite you to take a look at and comment on them.

We’re proud too of our increasing outreach in media, including several well-attended webinars addressing policies and opportunities and highlighting the superb work being done in diverse areas by our colleagues throughout the country. You can view all this enlightening and useful content on our media page.

In September, ConservAmerica President Jeff Kupfer joined Mike Mauceli, CEO of REI Energy, on his podcast The Energy Show to discuss the Biden administration’s tax proposals that are targeting the oil and gas industry. You can listen to the full discussion here.

We’re also excited to announce that later this month ConservAmerica is bringing back our annual reception recognizing Congressional champions of free-market solutions to environmental challenges. This year’s event on Oct. 19 will be smaller than our past events but that we are able to hold it at all is a refreshing change from last year. This year we’ll be honoring Senators Lisa Murkowski and Mike Braun and Representatives Brian Mast and Bruce Westerman for their commitment to advancing smart policies that protect our environment and promote our prosperity.

Please be sure to Follow ConservAmerica on Twitter and Facebook for updates, and keep an eye out for upcoming webinars.

As autumn’s changing colors remind us of what we cherish and what’s at stake, please accept our gratitude, as always, for your friendship and continued support.

Nan Hayworth, M.D.

ConservAmerica Chair

Support Principled Conservation

This year, we have seen, more than ever, the importance of protecting our public lands and the unique places that mean so much to us. There's no better way to be a good steward of the land we love than by protecting it for future generations.

We need your help to continue leading the way on environmental, conservation, and clean energy issues. ConservAmerica believes the most successful approaches are the ones that offer common sense, market-based solutions rather than big government, top-down regulations.
