TNC California’s Forest Strategy Lead, Dan Porter said: “We’re grateful for Congressman Valadao’s leadership on the newly introduced, bipartisan National Prescribed Fire Act, which offers a clear pathway to accelerate the pace and scale of prescribed fire across the western U.S."

9 million voters want climate action.

We must honor voter intent by ensuring Prop 4 funds additional nature-based climate solutions, rather than backfilling existing climate commitments. TNC looks forward to working with the #CALeg to maximize the positive impacts of Prop 4.

Proposition 4 will be on the 2024 November ballot this fall. #Prop4 is a climate bond supporting safe drinking water, wildfire prevention, drought preparedness and clean air. By supporting #Prop4, we are investing in a resilient future for our state.
