Policy Advocacy

[Mike Brown]

Has your state conservation agency met with your state’s elected federal delegation (or staff) during the past year? If so, what issues were discussed, and what was the outcome of the dialogue?

[Trey Lam]

Oklahoma met with all the delegation during the virtual fly in. Discussed NRCS funding, watershed program, EPA 319 success stories, and reauthorization of the Abandon Mine Lands Program. Have spoken again with staff on McGirt ruling and effect on AML program. Speak regularly with Lucas and Inhofe staff.

We have met with a few of the staffers to discuss potential forest management issues and drought related items.
