U.S. Senator Jon Tester will join Missoula Mayor John Engen on Monday to
draw attention to the fast-approaching deadline of the Land and Water
Conservation Fund (LWCF).  Unless Congress acts soon, the popular fund will
expire on September 30.  The Land and Water Conservation Fund, which uses
offshore oil revenues—not taxes—provides significant resources for
improving access to public lands and funding parks, trail systems, fishing
access sites and conservation easements.



Sponsors include Business for Montana’s Outdoors, the Rocky Mountain Elk
Foundation, the Montana Outfitters and Guides Association, the Montana Wild
Sheep Foundation, and Hellgate Hunters and Anglers and more.



The Rally in the Park is free and open to the public.  Free food and drink!
