Stop the cuts! Sign the petition.

Governor Corbett proposes the permanent diversion of the Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund revenue that supports local park, trail and open space protection projects to general government operations.  His 2012-13 budget would also phase out dedicated funds for the state farmland preservation program.
