Big news! A proposal to sell off our public lands in the U.S. has been defeated! Over the past month, the TNC community stepped up to stop this proposal, sending more than 100,000 messages to Congress to urge leaders to keep public lands in public hands.

Thank you @SenatorCantwell for standing up for our nation's public lands. xitter.cf/SenatorCantwell/status…
Despite a nationwide outcry, Senate Republicans are barreling ahead with Senator Lee's deranged proposal to sell our shared public lands to the highest bidder. Let me be clear: I will not stop fighting until this proposal is dead and buried. Americans will not stand to have the hiking, climbing, and hunting spots we love put up for sale.
A new Senate proposal would require a large-scale sell-off of more than 2 million acres of public conservation lands. Act now to urge Congress to oppose this bill and keep public lands in public hands: nature.ly/442t2VO
We couldn't agree more: the @SeattleTimes editorial board says "Washington’s preserved federal lands should never be pawns for tax cuts."

National Forests and other U.S. public lands are essential for our health, outdoor recreation and way of life. But right now, they’re under threat. Join us and tell your elected leaders in Congress to keep public lands in public hands.
Thank you @RepKimSchrier for introducing the National Prescribed Fire Act of 2025! The bill would invest in hazardous fuels management, training for prescribed fire practitioners & more to help prevent catastrophic wildfires & reduce harmful summer smoke.

Great to hike on Cle Elum Ridge with @conserve_wa to discuss the importance of federal investments for forest restoration & protection.
Protecting our natural resources matters.
In the Senate, I'll be fighting back against ANY proposed cuts to funding for our public lands.

Protecting Nature. Boosting National Security. Congress just passed the U.S. Foundation for International Conservation Act, which is a big win for people and the planet! See how #USFICA will scale conservation, boost U.S. security and empower communities. nature.org/en-us/about-us/wh…

Today, I joined members of @waDNR, @forestservice, @EastsideFire, @Conserve_WA, and other partners to speak on my bill, the National Prescribed Fire Act, which would invest in hazardous fuels management, improve forest health, and help combat and prevent destructive wildfires.

New report from Greenline Insights shows WA’s Climate Commitment Act (CCA) will create 45,000 new jobs in next 8 years, touching every corner of the state.
These benefits will be lost if the CCA is repealed this fall.

Thanks @waDNR for relentless work keeping communities and nature safe from severe wildfires! We appreciate the quick response, communication, & intelligence on operations. From leadership in Olympia to each firefighter on the ground, we admire the All Hands All Lands approach! 🌲
We’re celebrating two years since the historic passage of the Inflation Reduction Act! The IRA supports transformational climate, clean energy and conservation projects across WA, like a grant protecting forest lands on Cle Elum Ridge. More here ⬇️bit.ly/4cBqi3M

It's the 2nd anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, the biggest investment in climate action ever. This bill is putting billions towards boosting clean energy and conservation work for wetlands, wildlife and forests. And the #IRA is good for people and communities too. 👇
This week, Washington TNC's Quantitative Ecologist, Ailene Ettinger, had the pleasure of talking about her research, educational path, and experience as a scientist on Unpacking Education.
