WASHINGTON WILDLIFE AND RECREATION COALITION UPDATE
Conservation Fund Investment in lands creates jobs and boosts economy:
SEATTLE – Today, the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition applauded the President’s continued commitment to robust funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). The fund is the federal government’s primary means of protecting parks, wildlife refuges, forests and working lands.
In his Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 budget released yesterday morning, the President requested $450 million for LWCF, a 30 percent increase over FY 12 funding levels, keeping LWCF on an upward trajectory. The fund is authorized to receive up to $900 million per year, but Congress has routinely diverted LWCF funds for other uses.
The investment in LWCF would protect forests and streams in Mt Rainier National Park, scenic lands along the Pacific Crest Trail, wildlife habitat in Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, and working forest lands along the Straight of Juan De Fuca in Pysht Coastal Forest. In the coming months, Congress will have to act to fulfill the President’s budget request.
The active outdoor recreation economy supports 115,000 jobs across Washington and contributes more than $11.7 billion annually to Washington’s economy. "Investments in conservation not only maintain our heritage of clean air, water and wildlife habitat. As a small-business owner, I can attest that they are also good for our economy,” said Joe Hyer, owner of Alpine Experience, an outdoor retail business in Olympia. “Protecting our public lands drives tourism and supports local recreation-based businesses, creating jobs across our state."
The fund does not use taxpayer dollars. Instead, it uses funds generated by the depletion of one public resource – oil and gas royalties from the Outer Continental Shelf – to protect our irreplaceable natural heritage on land.
Recent polling shows that Americans across the political, racial, and geographic spectrum support LWCF. An overwhelming 85% of Americans support full funding for LWCF. By similar margins, a vast majority of Americans want Congress to honor its commitment to dedicate LWCF funds to these purposes rather than diverting them for unrelated uses.
“I applaud the President for calling for robust funding of LWCF,” said Joanna Grist, Executive Director of the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition. “The fund is the single best source of money for protecting and enhancing local and federal areas and recreational amenities. Safe, close-to-home recreation opportunities are essential to our health and quality of life.”
Over the years since the conservation fund was created in 1965, it has protected Washington icons like Mount Rainier, Olympic, and North Cascades National Parks, the Pacific Crest Trail, and Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge. The Coalition will continue to work with conservation, business, and hunting and fishing partners across the State to ensure robust funding for conservation, recreation, and wildlife habitat through LWCF in FY 2013
About the WWRC:
The Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition (WWRC) is a non-profit citizens group founded in a historic bipartisan effort by former Governors Dan Evans and Mike Lowry. A diverse group of over 250 organizations representing conservation, business, recreation, hunting, fishing, farming, and community interests, the Coalition’s breadth and diversity helps secure a level of funding for parks and habitat that individuals could not achieve alone.
About the LWCF:
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) supports federal acquisition and conservation easements of our nation's most precious lands and waters, and provides matching funds for state and local entities to acquire and develop recreational opportunities in almost every county of the nation. The Forest Legacy Program, which is funded through LWCF, provides grants to states to protect working forests and water quality and provide access for recreation. Created in 1965, the LWCF is authorized to receive $900 million annually in federal revenue from oil and gas leasing of the Outer Continental Shelf. The LWCF, however, has been chronically shortchanged in the annual budget and appropriations process, with funding consistently diverted to other purposes.

What I am thankful for on day 11:
Today is a day to be thankful for my freedom.
Freedom to speak what I want to speak, live where I want live, serve an Amazing Lord, dress how I want to dress, go where I want to go, and the list goes on and on. So to be thankful for these things I need to be thankful to all the
BRAVE men and women who are serving or have served in our armed forces.
THANK YOU!!!!
Those words do not say enough of what fills my heart.
You all have given so much, so that we may live in the land of the free.
I pray for God's loving arms to be around everyone of you as you continue to serve for our country.
Thank you again

HONOR AN ELDER PROGRAM ALIVE AND WELL IN MOSSYROCK
After a couple of hours of scraping, nailing new boards in place and offering each other bits of wisdom, the volunteers sat down to pizza and soft drinks provided by MAAL and homemade clam chowder and cookies provided by Mrs. McMurry and listened to stories about her years in Mossyrock. Shortly after graduating from Mossyrock in 1941, she married and her in-laws gave her husband and her two lots and they bought an old mill house from the recently closed Carlisle Mill in Onalaska for $300. The house was cut in half and transported to the current site on two trucks. After sitting the house down, there was a gap between the two halves of approximately 15 feet. She and her husband “filled in the gap” and later added additional rooms and porches and it still sits on the property acquired so many years ago.
Beulah worked as a “Field Boss” for Anderson Blueberry Farm for many years (now Pan American Berry Farm) and retired at the age of 70. Since that time, you see her driving her blue pickup truck to various sites including local bazaars where she sells homemade pies, cookies, jams, jellies and embroidered dish towels and quilts to supplement her income.
Once lunch was finished the “crew” comprised of MAAL members, young and old, and Road Rebels Car Club members worked until 5:30 to make sure the house was ready to receive a fresh coat of charcoal blue paint within the next week.
