​Water is among the topics before legislators at the Iowa Environmental Lobby Day and REAP Day at the Capitol 2017 on March 29.  At this annual event, diverse individuals and organizations from across the state come together at the Iowa State Capitol to show policymakers that there is a broad base of support for sustainable funding, program and policies that support clean water, healthy land and continued clean energy leadership.  Proposed budget cuts to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship would reduce funding for REAP projects, see Action Alert here.  These agencies are already underfunded and the cuts will have long-term impacts on the agencies’ work.  Now is the time to sign up for this lobbying event and make your voice heard for Iowa’s environment!
