Big news! A proposal to sell off our public lands in the U.S. has been defeated! Over the past month, the TNC community stepped up to stop this proposal, sending more than 100,000 messages to Congress to urge leaders to keep public lands in public hands.

A new Senate proposal would require a large-scale sell-off of more than 2 million acres of public conservation lands. Act now to urge Congress to oppose this bill and keep public lands in public hands:

Thank you, Rep Schrier, for your leadership on the National Prescribed Fire Act! We urge Congress to pass this legislation as soon as possible.
Today, I joined members of @waDNR, @forestservice, @EastsideFire, @Conserve_WA, and other partners to speak on my bill, the National Prescribed Fire Act, which would invest in hazardous fuels management, improve forest health, and help combat and prevent destructive wildfires.
