Advocate for Conservation!

Advocate for conservation funds! Ask your congressional representative to pass the America’s Conservation Enhancement Act (ACA). 

This bill invests in wetlands, habitat restoration, and invasive species management projects across the entire country. This funding will help protect our state’s critical habitats including our wetlands and rivers. Indiana water fowl such as belted kingfishers rely on aquatic environments provide their essential habitat for nesting and feeding.  

The House of Representatives has introduced a bill (H.R.8811) to reauthorize the ACA. Our organization and our environmental partners rely on legislation such as the ACA to help us carry out our mission to protect and advocate for the Indiana dunes, Lake Michigan, and the surrounding natural areas for the health and vitality of the environment, and the people who live, work, and recreate in Northwest Indiana. Please use the link below to find your congressional leader and ask them to support and reauthorize the ACA.
