Conservatives for Responsible Stewardship (CRS)

"We still think of air as free. But clean air is not free, and neither is clean water. The price tag on pollution control is high. Through our years of past carelessness we incurred a debt to nature, and now that debt is being called." - Richard Nixon

Conservation is an investment in our future. Protecting our natural resources today means preserving clean water, healthy forests, and thriving wildlife for generations to come. 🌲 🌎 conservativestewards.org

🚨 America’s wildlife protections are at risk. H.R. 9171 would roll back longstanding protections for gray wolves, grizzly bears, wolverines, and northern spotted owls. These sweeping changes have no place in a must-pass spending bill. Take action: buff.ly/S3TD57r

"No generation has a free hold on this earth. All we have is a life tenancy--with a full repairing lease." -Margaret Thatcher

Quick question for our followers: If the Forest Service already has 368,000 miles of roads to maintain and a $10.8 billion maintenance backlog, should taxpayers be paying to build even more roads? 👍 Yes 👎 No 💬 Tell us what you think

🚨The USDA is moving to rescind the Roadless Rule, putting 44.7 million acres at risk of more roads, development, and logging. That could mean more taxpayer dollars for new roads and subsidizing uneconomical logging. Submit your comment today! buff.ly/Jrt143Z

There's nothing conservative about selling out America's most cherished national parks, diminishing their God given splendor so the uber wealthy can exploit them for more money. These parks belong to all Americans and must be protected!

Why build more roads when we can’t afford to maintain the ones we have? The Forest Service faces a $10.8B road maintenance backlog. The Roadless Rule helps protect taxpayers and our forests from unnecessary costs. Read more: buff.ly/ZMNP4Zk
