If you would like our federal government to continue funding the protection of your public lands and waters…
Please take 15 minutes to call and email your representative about the Great American Outdoors Act to fully and permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF).
The Great American Outdoors Act passed the U.S. Senate on June 17, 2020, with a vote of 73 – 25. Now, it’s up to the U.S. House of Representatives.
The House is scheduled to vote on Bill H.R. 1957 on Wednesday, July 22, 2020.

The Land and Water Conservation Fund not only affects Wisconsin, it impacts every state in our nation.
Calling and sending email is effective! Today is your day to make a difference.
Here are some tips for contacting your policymakers:
- Tell them why the Land and Water Conservation is important to you. Give them a few reasons why having clean water and outdoor places are important to you, personally.
- Ask them to vote to reauthorize and protect the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
- Be concise, and polite. Remember that your elected officials hear from lots of people every day on all kinds of issues. To be persuasive — share your passion, but be respectful.
