    Every year, the federal government makes key decisions on the tax incentives for land or conservation easements; on the rules that 501(c)(3) organizations must follow; on funding for a host of federal and state land protections; and about grant programs that can help you protect lands in your community.

    Members of Congress and other public officials rely on their constituents for informed opinions on proposed legislation, policy issues, and regulations. The ADVOCATES network provides you with the information you need to make a difference with policymakers.
