On March 9th, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to approve the National Landscape Conservation System Act by a vote of 278-140! This Conservation System protects wildlife in 26 million acres of majestic landscapes and watersheds across the America. We could not have succeeded without your support!

Thanks to all of you who took action on this important issue by contacting your representatives! Stay tuned, as we now expect the bill to go to the Senate for their consideration.

'Sprague Lake in Fall - Rocky Mountain National Park' 
Photographer: Wayne Rhodus

Story from the photographer:

After sixteen consecutive years of visiting Rocky Mountain National Park in late fall, my wife and I were fortunate enough to introduce our first grandson, Caden to the beauty of the mountains. At nine months old he enjoyed his inagural hike on the handicapped accessible trail around Sprague Lake, in a carrier on his father's back. I stopped momentarily on the eastern side of the lake to take this picture of fluffy white clouds, Hallet Peak and Tyndell Glacier relfected in the calm waters in the late morning light. Our Public Lands are perfect for making memories for a lifetime.

Thanks to everyone who helped judge!
