The Senate Appropriations Committee will review the proposed budget for DCNR on February 25. The House Committee will do so on March 5. Committee members will ask DCNR Secretary Rick Allen questions and express their thoughts about conservation and recreation funding. We want as many of them as possible to publicly express their strong support for the Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund. Please contact legislators in their district offices to ask them to express their support and remind them how the Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund has benefitted your community and the Commonwealth.
If you have a strong relationship with a member of the PA House or Senate Appropriation Committees, please contact them. (See list below.)
