Momoko, tomorrow is Public Lands Day—a full day's celebration of the parks, peaks, forests and waterways where wildlife roam and communities meet to hike, fish, camp, connect with nature and make treasured memories. This year, we hope you'll join us in honoring this moment by helping us raise $50,000 to ensure public lands are protected and accessible for generations to come. Every gift made before midnight tomorrow will be MATCHED 5X by a generous donor, up to $500,000, to go even further to give back to the wild places that give us so much. Chip in while your support multiplies 5X >> Coming together for the public lands we share is more important than ever. Right now, they are facing relentless attacks that could threaten the future of iconic landscapes across the country: - Anti-conservation lawmakers have put more than 200 million acres of public land on the auction block for oil and gas drilling.
- Earlier this month, the administration took a major step towards rescinding the Public Lands Rule, a move that would undo one of our movement's biggest recent victories and revert the Bureau of Land Management to managing public lands primarily for the good of powerful drilling, mining and development interests over conservation and recreation.
- Drastic cuts to vital agencies like the National Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service are hindering visits from the public and even emergency wildfire response.
- Oil and gas lease sales are being mandated in every Western state and even in fragile landscapes like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Western Arctic.
The places that inspire, sustain and connect us all need our support this Public Lands Day. Make your gift before midnight tomorrow and it will be MATCHED 5X to fight back and defend the landscapes we all love >> Together, we can ensure that our shared public lands and the life they support endure for generations to come. Thank you for your support, Momoko. —The Wilderness Society |
