Make This a Million Message Month for America's Great Outdoors!

For six months we've asked you to attend listening sessions, vote for ideas, and spread the word about America's Great Outdoors -- and because of all your hard work, we're confident this initiative will include tools that land trusts need to succeed.  So today we're asking you to do one last thing before the comment period wraps up this month: ask your members and supporters to give this initiative the momentum it needs by sending supportive comments to the Administration.  A flood of messages will show them that land conservation is an issue Americans care about -- so they'll invest political capital in it over the next two years!
