Pine Barrens Preservation- CRITICAL ACTION ALERT!
Dear Friends -
With the State Legislature expected to adjourn as early as Friday, please help us make one final push to get the Carmans River/ Core Preservation Area expansion bill passed. It will be before the NYS Senate and Assembly this week.
Please take 1 minute today to email the sponsors of the bill and tell them that you support this historic preservation measure. (sample letter and contact info follows below) It doesn’t matter if you don’t reside in any of these districts. Just send the email anyway- our leaders in Albany need to hear from all Long Islanders!
We are so close, but we need your help now. Please send your email today or tomorrow at the latest and ask your friends and family to do the same.
SAMPLE EMAIL TO LEGISLATORS:
Dear ,
RE: S 5663/ A 8265 (make sure you reference these bill numbers in the subject line of your email)
I am writing to urge your support for Expansion of the Core Preservation Area of the Central Pine Barrens in Brookhaven Town to protect the Carmans River watershed. The bill numbers are A 8265 and S 5663.
The measure would protect 1,100 hundred additional acres of land, most of it in the 0-5 year time-of-travel in the Carmans River watershed. The Pine Barrens region is an important natural resource for all residents of Long Island and an opportunity to preserve more land in the Carmans River watershed must not be missed. Please support this bill.
Sincerely,
