We Need Your Support!
The Washington Wildlife & Recreation Coalition (WWRC) is seeking your help to advocate for a $150 million Capital Budget request for the Washington Wildlife & Recreation Program (WWRP) for the 2025-27 biennium. Please join us by signing the Sign-On Letter to support robust funding for this vital program.
This letter will be sent to the Governor and key legislative budget leaders to ensure that the voices of advocates like you are heard by our state’s decision-makers!
The projected population for Washington State in 2025 is 8.1 million people – by the numbers this investment of $150 million is only about $18.50 per person. While not every person may recreate outdoors, we certainly know they are affected by it. The outdoor recreation industry contributes 264,000 jobs and generates $26.5 billion annually in the State! Even if you don’t recreate, this boost to our economy is impactful and helpful in many ways. In fact, these investments yield ecosystem benefits valued at $216 billion, essential for water storage and disaster resilience—certainly things everyone cares about!
