“Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children’s children. Do not let selfish men, or greedy interests, skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.”
Theodore Roosevelt

Each link above goes to schedule with decision makers. Please call them. Tell them you want them to protect the quality and quantity of our trout streams and drinking water from companies wanting to wash sand. (Note: HF742 does NOT have the language protecting streams and ground water that the companion bill SF796 contains.)

We have little time to impact legislation. Please help.
