The Land & Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) is the federal government's main program for open space preservation. Now, after decades of being underfunded, it may finally realize its full conservation potential through a bill approved by a key committee in the House of Representatives.
Established in 1964, the LWCF is officially authorized to spend $900 million each year to protect and enhance America's natural lands, including parks, historic sites, forests, wildlife refuges and outdoor recreation facilities.
