After years of policy backpedaling at the EPA, we need strong leaders to put the agency back on track safeguarding our air, water, and climate. Janet McCabe’s work protecting people and parks from pollution proves she can do just that. npca.org/articles/2848-npca-…

The scientific community had known about the importance of Florissant’s fossils for decades, but the site remained unprotected until two women -- paleobotanist Estella Leopold and scientist & naturalist Bettie Willard -- took up the cause. #WomenInScience npca.org/articles/1478-these…

William Perry Pendley has an established history opposing the very idea of federal public lands and favoring extractive users over conservation. He's not fit to lead @BLMNational -- acting or otherwise. @EnergyDems @EnergyGOP npca.org/articles/2410-npca-…

Despite having evidence of decades of watershed protection & restoration projects, a recent Drexel University report found a severe lack of data surrounding results. 😰 Deficiencies in planning, goal-setting, & limitations in funding may be the culprits: ow.ly/uuCC50vMSZh

If the US National Park System were considered a business, it would be on par with many big-name giants. But inadequate funding and aging infrastructure threaten the very resources visitors come to see. It’s time to #FixOurParks bit.ly/2HgTelZ

We've been doing our best to eliminate single use plastic on all our guided trips for the last five years. Please do your part too. The days of plastic water bottles should be history. #KickPlastic facebook.com/delawareriverfl…
Vital infrastructure on our public lands, including sections of the #AppalachianTrail, are in need of better funding and support. Take action for the #WildEast: tell your Members of Congress to fund deferred maintenance projects and #RestoreOurParks! wildeast.appalachiantrail.or…
