Not only is this an absolutely critical year for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) but also the last year of its authorization.
We need your help to ensure the LWCF is reauthorized before it expires in September 2015, and at the same time urge Congress to provide robust funding for LWCF when funding levels are decided this summer. Critical parks, trails, wildlife and recreation projects are counting on LWCF funding this year. Find out how LWCF has impacted Nevada here!
