On September 27th, 2018 seven organizations - in partnership with The Mountain Pact - sent a letter to Congress urging them to fully fund and reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund. These Funds have conserved and increased the health of our national public lands and waters across every state and nearly every county in the United States. The communities represented by the signed organizations understand the importance of healthy public lands to the economic prosperity and cultural vitality to western mountain communities.
