2. Register for our REQUIRED Advocacy Day Prep Webinar on April 21 at 7pm. We will cover tips and tricks for meeting with lawmakers, logistics for the big day, and the top line messages of our priority issues—Wetlands, Conservation Trust Funds, and Heirs Property (we may add to this list, depending on how the legislative session progresses in the coming weeks).

Keep your calendar open from 8 to 5 on April 29 because lawmakers often don't commit to meeting times until the week of Advocacy Day.
