The Nature Conservancy in Idaho

Huge thanks to @CongMikeSimpson for cosponsoring the Public Lands in Public Hands Act, which aims to keep public lands and public access intact. 📸South Fork of the Snake River by BLM Idaho

Public lands need to be kept in public hands. People across America depend on them. Public lands are critical drivers of local economies, they are fundamental to the health and well-being of Americans, and they provide important habitat for plants and animals.

Thank you @MikeCrapo and @SenatorRisch for supporting the ADVANCE Act! This lays the foundation to accelerate deployment of innovative, safer nuclear technologies, strengthened the U.S. nuclear supply chain and workforce and more.

Thank you Senator @MikeCrapo for co-sponsoring the U.S. Foundation for International Conservation Act to support our lands, waters and wildlife and promote global and national security! nature.org/en-us/about-us…

We are so happy to have you on the team!

Thank you, @SenatorRisch, for your pivotal role in advancing the U.S. Foundation for International Conservation Act. By prioritizing sustainable financing, we're investing in the health of our planet and ensuring a brighter future for generations to come.

Today, we achieved a major milestone for conservation! The Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s approval of the U.S. Foundation for International Conservation Act is a testament to how important establishing long-term, sustainable financing is for protecting our lands and waters.

Thank you to Sens. @ChrisCoons, @LindseyGrahamSC, @SenatorCardin and @SenatorRisch for your leadership and commitment to investing in international conservation that would boost global stability and protect the health of our planet.

A series of short, lively “hot topic” presentations will cover topics like outdoor recreation funding, quagga mussels, and our own Kari Kostka, Director of External Affairs, will be speaking about the Gem State Air Quality Initiative. Learn more ➡️idahoenvironmentalforum.org/policy-forum

Next week, TNC staff are joining policy makers, agency employees and more at Idaho Enviromental Policy Forum (formerly called the Legislative Gala), @IdahoEF's signature event!

Turkeys are the ultimate day-watchers. With their excellent eyesight, they keep an eye out for trouble. But when the sun sets, they roost in trees to stay safe from ground predators like foxes and coyotes. Smart and Savvy. 🦃👏 nature.ly/463tNwC
