Subject: Please vote for wildlife and our public lands
Dear [Legislator],
Our public lands provide essential habitat for wildlife and must be protected. As population growth contributes to urban sprawl and pressure to harvest natural resources such as natural gas, essential wildlife habitat and migratory zones are being negatively impacted. It is imperative that we act decisively to preserve our public lands as open spaces for wildlife habitat and migratory routes. Your actions now will have a lasting impact on our environment and future generations.
Please act for the good of our nation's wildlife by voting for legislation that preserves and protects our public lands and the wildlife that live on them.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
