After years of existing on starvation diets, it's past time to restore balanced levels of funding for our National Parks, Wildlife Refuges, National Forests, and other public lands all across the nation.  Such funding is essential to continue their ecological health, as well as wildlife protection, law enforcement and maintenance.  Not least, adequate funding is needed to meet new challenges our public lands face because of global warming.

Congress is considering budget levels for our public lands for 2010, and this is the perfect time for you to weigh in on their behalf.
