 In late February, the Wisconsin
League of Conservation Voters organized a fantastically successful
Conservation Lobby Day at the state capitol. Well over
400 citizens from across the state converged at the capitol,
carrying a strong message about the importance of conservation
issues. We extend many thanks
to all those who attended, especially those who came to speak in
support of Stewardship Fund reauthorization.
2007 Lobby
Day Conservation Priorities:
• Keep the Great Lakes Waters in the Great Lakes
by passing the Great Lakes Compact,
which addresses
pressures on water suppliesand desires
for
diversions.
• Reauthorize the Stewardship
Fund, Wisconsin’s premier,
bi-partisan land
preservation
program.
• Restore Conservation Integrity by passing the three components
of the Hunter,
Angler,
Trapper Bill of Rights.
• Choose Clean Energy for a Bright Future by positioning Wisconsin
to be a
national leader
in renewable energy.
