In May, the House made deep cuts in the Land and Water Conservation and Forest Legacy Programs, both key to protecting land at risk of development.  The House provided just $59 Million (out of a possible $450 million) for federal Land and Water Conservation and eliminated funds for state grants. Of the more than $200 million states requested for the Forest Legacy Program to help conserve more than 90 threatened forests nationwide, just $9.3 million was appropriated.  The Interior Department also suffered deep cuts to its programs. 

The Senate is expected to take up this measure soon.  Even if you have already written to your Senators, we need you to contact them before this important vote and urge full funding for LWCF and Forest Legacy Programs.  Edit the letter below as you see fit, then click on "Send This Message."
