Call now to save conservation

Posted on July 8, 2017 Leave a Comment

We need you to act ASAP. The Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund, Growing Greener, and farmland preservation and in danger. The General Assembly is considering stripping their funding to balance the state budget. This is a gravely serious threat that would harm Pennsylvania not just this year but for years to come.
What we all need to do:
  • Call (Harrisburg offices) and email your State Representative, Senator, and the Governor NOW and SUNDAY, and urge them to OPPOSE any transfers from the Keystone Fund, Growing Greener or farmland preservation to balance the budget.
  • Get on social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and spread the message that these funds must be protected. Tag your legislators – let them know you are watching what happens. (#SavePA, #PABudget)
  • Do the same via email.
  • Personally reach out to those you know who have relationships with legislators and the Governor. Ask them to make calls.
Harrisburg must do more to protect the environmental, not less.
