Please continue to share with this committee what that looks like as it develops. Again, hopefully there'll be some certainty.
Will local groups be able to access federal conservation money through simple forms, fast approvals and, ideally, sweat equity? These are the people who actually do things. They put on hip waders and create cold water refuge and fish habitat, but they don't have money. Instead of giving it to a bunch of big organizations that don't do anything, are you going to give it to the people on the ground, who will actually make the environment a better place to live, work and play in?
