March CLiF Notes: Court Wins & Conservation Challenges
This month brings both victories to celebrate and emerging challenges that demand our continued vigilance and action.
Turning local passion into acres protected.
We know from experience that durable public lands conservation requires local people who fight for the land day in and day out.
Our Friends Grassroots Network is a national movement of more than 80 community-based organizations focused on protecting, restoring, and expanding National Conservation Lands.
Some of these groups are all-volunteer led, while others have paid staff. They host hikes, undertake restoration projects, and serve as local sentries to protect the lands all of us love and need.
We fuel the diversity and impact of this national movement and harness the collective power of our Friends Grassroots Network to:
Remind elected officials how much people value and depend on these special places.
Through grant giving, capacity building, and field support, we increase the impact of our Friends Network. We support the operations of these local organizations, connect them to policymakers, and ensure that their voices are at the table.
Help us help them succeed.
