TRCP call to action

Response:

Dear Joel,

Thank you for reaching out and contacting me about our natural resources. I really do appreciate you taking the time to bring this important matter to my attention.

As you may know, the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) is responsible for managing federal lands, fish and wildlife, and Indian affairs.

Currently, the DOI oversees about 420 million acres of federal lands and 55 million acres of tribal lands. In addition, the DOI is home to the National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS) which is a network of lands and waters set aside to protect the nation’s fish, wildlife, and plants. In Fiscal Year 2024, the DOI received $18.9 billion in appropriations. This funding allows us to better care for the public lands and resources in our nation and ensure that every taxpayer has access to them.

My faith leads me to believe that we have a responsibility to care for our natural resources. Our nation is blessed with beautiful lands and wildlife spanning from coast to coast. President Teddy Roosevelt once said, “There is nothing so American as our national parks.” I would agree that caring for our natural resources is an important issue that we should work to address as Americans, after all, we are government together. Should any legislation regarding this topic come to the House Floor, I will keep your thoughts and comments in mind.

Again, thanks for contacting my office. Your voice and comments are very important to me. Always feel free to call at (202) 225-4426 or visit my website at feenstra.house.gov. Have a wonderful day.

God Bless America,


Rep. Randy Feenstra
Member of Congress
