Dear Collaborative Partners,
This opportunity requires action by 5pm Eastern Standard Time TODAY!
The Farm Bill Conference Committee just released a final version of the conference report and the House and Senate will be voting on it in the next two days.
The bill includes a much-needed extension of the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program at $80 million through 2023, something our collaborative has supported for many years, as well as reasonable compromises between the House and Senate versions of the bill. We need your immediate help to ensure passage in both the House and Senate.
If your organization wants to show support, please click here to read the support letter and sign on by 5pm EST December 11th, at which point it will be delivered to Congressional leadership.
If you have any questions about the letter, policy, or conference committee process, please contact Tyson Bertone-Riggs, at tyson@wallowaresources.org. Wallowa Resources is a member of the Rural Voices for Conservation Coalition and has been working to advance the CFLR program and works on similar issues to those that we face in New Mexico. Please also feel free to circulate this opportunity across your networks.
Thank you for your support!
