Virginiaâs outdoor heritage is vitally important. Our Virginia congressional delegation joined a bipartisan majority in recently enacting legislation to shore up our nationâs threatened natural resources by fully funding the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
We urge them to take the additional step of joining U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman, R-1st, in co-sponsoring the Recovering Americaâs Wildlife Act (H.R. 3742). Support for this legislation is vitally important to protecting and supporting wildlife.
Whether itâs the squirrel in your backyard or a black bear in Virginiaâs Blue Ridge Mountains, wildlife plays a critical role in our shared environment. Diversity in animal life helps to maintain natureâs equilibrium.
