Help defend funding for LWCF

We urgently need your help to ensure funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) in the next long term spending bill. Since Mount Sideliberations began in Congress, LWCF has already sustained severe cuts  and the House of Representatives proposed an draconian 80% cut in their proposed budget.

These cuts will have an immediate impact on outdoor recreation and sportsmen's  activities on our public lands, working forests and ranches, local parks and wildlife habitats.

It is important to note that LWCF is not funded with taxpayer dollars. Instead, LWCF is authorized to receive $900 million from a dedicated account of offshore oil and gas leases intended to offset the negative consequences of oil drilling.

State Senators cherry pick projects, ignore WWRP rankings

The State Senate's proposed budget slashes Washington Wildlife & Recreation Program funding to almost half of what Governor Inslee recommended while favoring poorly ranked projects over highly ranked ones. The WWRP's independent ranking system is the key to its years of success, ensuring only the best projects get funded. Take action & urge your legislators to restore full funding today!

LWCF full funding bill reintroduced

Sens. Baucus (MT), Burr (NC), and Wyden (OR) & 4 cosponsors have introduced a new bill, the “Land and Water Conservation Authorization and Funding Act of 2013,” to provide full, permanent and dedicated funding for LWCF. Please join us in asking Senators Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray to renew their support and once again co-sponsor the bill!
