On October 26, 2018, standing at the Catskill Creek in Catskill, NY, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer called on his colleagues to immediately reauthorize and fully fund The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). Schumer said the LWCF provides critical funding that protects natural areas, water resources, and historical sites in Upstate New York. In addition, Schumer said jeopardizing these critical funds threatens both conservation and recreation projects that help support the outdoor recreation economy in communities across the Catskills.
