We're working to ease financial barriers for conservation projects by increasing the government's funding share from 75% to 90% when these initiatives are undertaken by qualified youth or conservation corps. This change aims to bolster environmental conservation efforts while creating more opportunities for youth engagement in preserving our natural resources.

Another government handout that raises the debt – conservation's important but so is fiscal responsibility!

More funding for youth and conservation could mean less for other priorities; let's balance wisely.

They're starting small, but when has government spending ever stayed small?

Why stop at 90%? Let’s go all the way and fully fund conservation projects.

Why should taxpayers foot more of the bill for projects that should be community-funded?
