Daines leads charge to protect natural resources

Spring is coming to Montana and we look forward to it. We cherish our rivers, plains and mountains — this beautiful place we all call Montana.

We are grateful to Senator Daines for protecting our great state, its natural beauty, and unique landscapes.

Last October, Senator Daines, along with other members of the U.S. House and Senate, co-authored a report that outlined a plan to help protect our abundant natural resources.

The proposal, recommends prioritizing healthy and resilient landscapes to minimize risks of invasive species, degraded water sources, and wildfires to our wildlife habitat, agriculture, and fisheries.

As volunteers with Montana Citizens’ Climate Lobby, we are thankful to Senator Daines and his colleagues for their work on this report. Rising temperatures and disrupted weather events due to climate change threaten the natural beauty we Montanans love and wish to conserve.

We’re proud to see Senator Daines and other members of our Congressional delegation put forward important conservative ideas. We urge them to continue to advance conservative environmental and climate solutions — especially those that will benefit our state.

Forest conservation, clean energy jobs, and investment in clean energy will benefit all of us.

Bills in Congress, such as the Forest Act and the Save Our Future Act will push us in the right direction.

We hope that Montana and the West continue to thrive for generations to come.
