Cantwell: ‘Permanently Authorize and Fully Fund Our Country’s Most Successful Conservation Program’
Today, U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell, (D-Wash.) ranking member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, called for permanent re-authorization and full funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
During a full committee hearing, Sen. Cantwell urged her colleagues to join her efforts to preserve the program, which provides funds for federal land acquisition and provides matching grants to state and local governments for public outdoor recreation areas and facilities.
