Massachusetts has the opportunity to lead the way on climate change, conserving nature, and protecting wildlife: not only to reach out climate goals, but to create a safer, more sustainable future for generations to come.
An Act Providing Nature for All would create a permanent Nature for All Fund for the purposes of acquisition, restoration or improvement of nature to create parks and trails; protect forests, farms, wildlife habitat, and water resources; and advance climate resiliency and environmental justice goals.
By setting aside just a portion of the revenue already generated from the existing sales tax on sporting goods, we would be able to dedicate more than $100 million every year for the Fund without any increase in taxes.
Get involved! If lawmakers don’t act this legislative session, we’re ready to bring this issue directly to voters through a 2026 ballot question, by pursuing the Protect Water and Nature Initiative. Help us get to 10,000 signatures.
