Tell Congress: Fully Fund LWCFPhoto: Stock image via CC0.

The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) has protected millions of acres in nearly every county in the U.S. — at NO COST to taxpayers. But year after year Congress diverts and delays funding for this vital program, leaving conservation efforts across the country that rely on it in jeopardy.

We need Congress to fully—and permanently—fund LWCF as soon as possible! We know that we only have a small window of time left for critical funding to get passed. Or else the urgent conservation that relies on this funding will continue to be stuck in limbo year after year.

Call on Congress to fully and permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund now. The clock is ticking to get it done ASAP. Make your voice heard!

Fully Fund LWCF Now

Dear TNC

With threats to nature rapidly increasing, it is especially critical to fully and permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) immediately. We cannot afford to put essential conservation programs in jeopardy.

LWCF is one of America's most important and successful conservation programs, benefiting every state in the nation. It has a 50-year track record of helping provide clean water, conserve natural resources, increase recreation opportunities, expand public access and support communities.

Vital conservation work is in danger every day LWCF continues to be underfunded. Plus, increasing its funding will not cost taxpayers a penny because it's paid for with drilling revenues from offshore oil and gas production. I ask you to fully and permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund as soon as possible. Please support S. 1081 or H.R. 3195, and insist this important legislation receives a vote before the end of the year.

Sincerely,
