Iowa & Illinois Legilatures Target Environmental Funding and Issues

Several bills being considered by the Iowa and Illinois legislatures have the potential of negatively impacting our environment-today and for decades to come! Here at Trees Forever we are doing our best to monitor and respond to potential legislation that impacts programs that are important to the communities and landowners we work with every day. We also want to alert you when your voice is needed in the debate.

It can be a challenge to keep up with all the legislative actions at the Statehouse and in Congress. For those of you who would like more frequent updates on a broader range of environmental issues, you might also consider signing up for the Iowa or Illinois Environmental Councils’ legislative Action Alerts by going to their websites by clicking the links below.
