You can take action on this alert by reading the information below and following the directions at the bottom.

Conserving our lands and natural areas helps to clean our air and water, keep communities healthy and increase property values. The Georgia Land Conservation Program has helped successfully protect tens of thousands of acres across the state.

The Georgia Land Conservation Program works to protect our lands for future generations. It was created in 2005 to offer funds to local governments and private landowners interested in permanently protecting their land. Some of the land protected is publicly owned, but some remains in the hands of private landowners. Last year, the Georgia General Assembly allocated $42.3 million for the Georgia Land Conservation Program.

The protected lands include some of the most magnificent parcels from the north Georgia mountains to the coastal plains.

Unfortunately, the House cut $25 million in funding for the Georgia Land Conservation Program from the FY09 budget.

We need your help to urge your Senator to restore the full $35 million in funding now.
