The Interior Department reshaped LWCF priorities to favor certain agencies, requiring local approval and limiting nonprofits, sparking concerns over public land protection.
The U.S. Department of the Interior has updated the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) priorities via a secretarial order, favoring land acquisitions by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service and National Park Service over those by the Bureau of Land Management.
The changes require local government approval, allow states to buy surplus federal property, and restrict nonprofit involvement.
Conservation groups warn these shifts could narrow eligibility, politicize the process, and risk public land disposal, raising concerns about the program’s long-term effectiveness.
