It’s great everyone’s staying protected, but please throw away gloves in the🗑️
Wipes, gloves and even masks have increasingly shown up at our wastewater treatment facilities.
If they're thrown on the ground, they can get into the sewer system & potentially damage equipment.

Nature has the power to bring people together – across geographies, backgrounds & politics. It’s time for Congress to build on this momentum of bipartisan support & fully #fundLWCF. Thank you @SenatorBurr @SenatorCantwell, @SenCoryGardner @Sen_JoeManchin! youtube.com/watch?v=4Odd-mMR…

It's no secret that we ❤️ trails. Two new studies we released today in collaboration w/ @WTA_hikers & @WAbikes highlight just how important trails are to our environment, economy, & even our health bit.ly/2QGWnAR
ALT Graphic that reads" Trails contribute more than $8.2 billion to Washington's economy and support more than 81,000 jobs every year. ~ From the study, Economic Environmental, and Social Benefits of Recreational Trails in Washington State." Also includes logos from Washington Trails Association, Washington Bikes, and Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office

The countdown continues - in a very busy time in Washington, DC, we are still looking to Congress to #FundLWCF and help America protect nature for people - for generations to come.

Forestland that was destined to become a 57-home hillside subdivision will instead become a new scenic gateway to Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park and continue to store carbon that fuels climate change.
Here's how we succeed with our partners: bit.ly/2NO3DZX

THANK YOU!
.@POTUS just signed the #landspackage into law. This #bipartisan bill permanently reauthorizes #LWCF & will help conserve & protect #publiclands across the country. @Sen_JoeManchin, @lisamurkowski & @SenatorCantwell worked tirelessly to get this bill over the finish line.

#WeTheStates are pleased that the Senate prioritized the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which expired four months ago. Governors support this landmark conservation program. #LWCF #conservation

Public lands are important to millions of people in Washington and across the country. It’s time for the Senate to pass my bipartisan legislation to protect & responsibly steward our #publiclands.

Why do #LandTrusts work with foresters? It's like renovating a fixer-upper: even if you know how you'd like your house to look, you may want to hire an architect! Find out how @NNRGforests partners with land trusts to help care for their #forest legacies. buff.ly/2AuATxL
