Weβre thrilled to debut a new short video featuring our work in the Taneum watershed with some amazing partners!
Check out the gorgeous scenery and hear from project partners from the Yakama Nation, Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust, Yakima Basin Integrated Plan, Back Country Horsemen of Washington and more, all sharing their perspective about why the Taneum watershed needs us now.
The 12,000-acre project is up for funding from the Land & Water Conservation Fund this year, but it needs your help to receive the full $14.5 million we need to make it a reality. Help us get the word out by sharing the YouTube link to this video on your social media channel of choice or emailing it to a friend!
A small fix can make a big difference: learn how clarifying a confusing law could make it a lot easier for counties to protect your favorite places and spaces.
Watch and share our new video featuring partners hard at work to protect the Taneum watershed in the Central Cascades.
Itβs been one year since Congress voted to permanently fund the Land & Water Conservation Fund through the Great American Outdoors Act, and weβre celebrating!

Americans rely on our nationβs leaders to support the healthy lands, waters and air we all need to survive and thrive. Yet the presidentβs FY 2018 budget is a big step backwards.
