WC is for Wildlife Conservation: LWCF Part 2


Listen Later

In this second installment of our three-part series on the Land and Water Conservation Fund, we're diving into the fun stuff - how LWCF actually helps wildlife! After breaking down the nuts and bolts of the law in Part 1, we're now exploring how this funding transforms into real conservation wins across America. From pocket mice to fairy shrimp, we'll discuss how LWCF supports wildlife conservation through land protection, habitat restoration, and more.
