The expansion of the San Gabriel Mountains and Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monuments today is at the heart of @POTUS’s historic conservation agenda and his commitment to protecting our nation’s lands and waters for future generations.

Another big step yesterday toward building a system of national parks and historic sites that tells the full story of America, and that honors and recognizes the contributions of women to our country. Thank you @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @NatlParkService! #WomensHistoryMonth
Today I signed an Executive Order to increase representation of women’s history in our national parks and historic sites. Women’s history is American history. It’s time we better recognized women’s critical role in shaping our nation’s story in more places across our country.

I couldn’t be prouder to introduce Brenda Mallory at her nomination hearing. Brenda's CT roots, tough work ethic, commitment to coalition building, & belief in the importance of environmental justice make her the perfect person to Chair the Council on Environmental Quality.

WATCH: If confirmed to chair @WHCEQ, @Brenda_Mallory pledges to listen to the voices of all communities, including those historically left out, as we tackle the environmental and public health crises facing our country. Equity and justice need to underpin our policy decisions.

Kudos to @NRDems @RepDianaDeGette @RepRaulGrijalva et al in the House for taking early action to protect the Grand Canyon, 1.5 M acres of wilderness, and 1,000 miles of wild and scenic rivers. Off to a fast start on conservation in 2021.
Here's the Biden administration's first statement of administration policy — or SAP. They strongly support the lands package on the House floor this week. whitehouse.gov/wp-content/up…
