Land and Water Conservation Day, April 29

Hey folks! Wanted to give you a heads up about Land Water Conservation Day, next Wednesday April 29 in Raleigh. From our friends at Land for Tomorrow:

Mark the date - April 29 is Land for Tomorrow Lobby Day. We need you in Raleigh this year more than ever before.

There's no need to reiterate all the recent bad economic news. Instead, we need to focus on ensuring that conservation funding isn't left behind during these tough times. We must convince the General Assembly that conservation funding isn't discretionary - it is absolutely necessary as an economic driver and also to protect and improve public health by keeping drinking water clean and providing places for people to recreate.

Legislators need to hear from you. Please plan to attend lobby day and tell them firsthand about the importance of conservation funding. Please invite your like-minded friends to attend as well. We need to show the General Assembly that this is a big issue for lots of people across North Carolina.

You can register for lobby day by going to our web site, www.landfortomorrow.org/lobbyday2009registration.
