Time to Care Campaign Begins!
Congress has an opportunity to increase funding for the Bureau of Land Management to properly manage National Conservation Lands–the public places America loves and needs that represent our nation’s natural, cultural, and outdoor heritage.

By properly funding the care and management of the National Conservation Lands, we will:

- Inventory, monitor and protect Indigenous and other cultural resources
- Restore fish and wildlife habitat after years of neglect
- Improve visitor experience, recreational infrastructure and rural economic recovery

Our Precious Prairies – March 10th
Imagine a meadow overlooking the Pacific Ocean. There’s black tailed deer grazing and meadow larks chirping and purple needlegrass wafting in the breeze. Waves pound on the beach below, and a comforting smell of wet grass hangs in the air. In addition to being stunningly charismatic, coastal prairies are one of the most significant ecosystems in California. These valuable areas, which contain perennial native bunchgrasses that sequester carbon, prevent erosion, increase groundwater retention, and provide essential habitat, are under siege by conifer encroachment, fire suppression, land use changes, and agricultural development. Join Hugh McGee and Veronica Yates of the Mattole Restoration Council as we explore the values, threats, and our restoration efforts to conserve these special and diminishing communities.
