America's most important program for protecting land, the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), will end on September 30, 2018 if we don't ask Congress to rescue it.
LWCF has worked well for more than 50 years, providing diverse outdoor recreation opportunities for people across the nation. From local ballfields to iconic national parks, LWCF improves access to the outdoors for everyone. It is popular across political lines and doesn’t burden taxpayers.
But now this popular bipartisan program is under attack, and our shared spaces could become developed, fragmented or otherwise damaged if we don't do something about it. Please call your member of Congress and ask them to support renewal and full funding for LWCF!

The Land and Water Conservation Fund is America’s most important conservation and outdoor recreation access program. It is critical to protecting our parks and public lands at the federal, state, and local level, opening up recreational access and opportunities in virtually every community across the country and helping to grow our nation’s $887 billion outdoor recreation economy.
The wildly successful and strongly bi-partisan program, which has provided critical funding for the last 54 years, will disappear at the end of this fiscal year if Congress does not act. I strongly urge you to permanently reauthorize and fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Thank you.
