in

under tulipane's efforts,
nrPa has increasingly
challenged the federal
government to reverse
its approach to LWCF,
stressing that it is much
more than a federal land
acquisition program.
of 60 percent, " she continues. " and in the
last few years, it has become less than 13
percent. obviously, something has shifted,
and i am trying to bring it back to its original intent. so, i was really pleased when
the state park directors recognized that.
to me, it's a no-brainer-this fund is for
natural resources, to give back. "
When the White house undertakes
such programs as the america's Great

outdoors report and the let's Move! obesity program, it makes tulipane fight all
the harder for stateside. " We all know the
relationship with nature begins with the
parks close to home.
" so, it just boggles my mind to think
that somehow we're getting less, that
we are getting such a minute part of the
fund, " she says. " We as a nation need to
figure this out, where our priorities lie. this
is one we can't just put a hold button on.
once the natural resources are gone, they
are gone. "
to those who consider stateside funding dead or dying, tulipane counters that
it remains a viable vehicle, one that still
has the potential to accomplish its mandate. she says she cannot fathom walking
away from supporting stateside funding.
" We have to get Members of Congress to

understand that you cannot rob the fund
to serve other purposes, " she says. " the
authors of lWCF were brilliant-it was
funded on the principle that if you deplete in one area, you give it back in the
other. lWCF stateside is the only program
that provides funding specifically for state
and local parks without requiring communities to compete with other services like
fire and education for funding.
" so how dare Congress take from that
fund and use it for other purposes, " tulipane continues. " it is the job of all of us to
remind them what the purpose of the fund
is for-not only in giving stateside its due,
but as citizens, we all have a stake in this.
this is our right to have it back. "
