-The lands and waterways
that define our region protect air and water quality
and contribute to a resilient future
as we experience climate change.
Proposition 1 restores voter-approved funding
to protect these last-best places throughout King County.
To date, the Conservation Futures program
has safeguarded over 100,000 acres of land,
including Cougar Mountain, Duwamish Waterway Park,
and the East Rail, through recommendations
made by an independent advisory committee.
With your vote, we can accelerate forest habitat
and farmland preservation while supporting communities
and regions most at risk from climate change,
most in need of cooling, and improving access
for historically-marginalized communities.
That's in addition to the health benefits open spaces offer:
stress reduction, recreational opportunities,
improved quality of life.
Let's ensure this legacy for future generations.
Restoring this important fund
will cost the average homeowner less than $2 per month,
with relief available to qualified low-income seniors
and other households.
Please join the Nature Conservancy,
Mountains to Sound Greenway,
Forterra, Trust for Public Land, the Wilderness Society,
Vashon-Maury Land Trust, Seattle Parks
Foundation, REI, and elected and community leaders
across our county in support of Proposition 1.
Thank you.
