House Approves National Landscape Conservation System Act

Conservation System Alliance — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 11:26:13 -0400

On Wednesday, April 9th, the National Landscape Conservation Act was approved by the House of Representatives. The legislation will provide permanent protection for the National Landscape Conservation's collection of wilderness areas, wild and scenic rivers, and archaeological treasure troves.

Next step? The Senate needs to vote on their version of the bill and then the House and Senate versions need to be agreed upon before going to the President for his signature. A few more steps to take, but we are getting closer. Please stay tuned.

Please thank your member of Congress:

Permanence Bill Goes to Floor Wednesday

Conservation System Alliance — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 11:59:45 -0500

Permanence bill, H.R. 2016, has passed committee, and is scheduled to move to the floor on Wednesday, April 9th. The National Landscape Conservation System Act, H.R. 2016, would provide much-needed recognition for the Conservation System, and ensure that it won't be administratively unraveled.

Please thank your representatives for their support passing the bill in the House Natural Resources Committee, or contact them to support passage on the House floor.
