Full, dedicated funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund would be a reality under legislation introduced yesterday in the Senate.
In true bipartisan fashion, Sens. Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Joe Manchin (D-WV), along with a host of co-sponsors, introduced the Land and Water Conservation Fund Permanent Funding Act (S. 1081). Now is your chance to urge your senators to cosponsor and support the bill.
Earlier this year after a 92-8 vote in the Senate and a 363-62 vote in the House, President Trump signed into law legislation that permanently reauthorizes LWCF. Funding for LWCF, however, remains subject to the federal appropriations process, with much of the $900 million in available funds frequently diverted to other uses. S. 1081 is a critical piece of legislation that would guarantee hunters, anglers and other outdoor users access to our public lands and waters. Let’s carry this momentum forward and help to ensure full, dedicated funding for LWCF.
