US Secretary Of Interior Sally Jewell To Visit Georgia

U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell is traveling to Virginia and Georgia to celebrate the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

Jewell is scheduled to visit Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area in Georgia on Monday and Appomattox Courthouse National Historical Park in Virginia on Tuesday.

The conservation fund is scheduled to expire this year unless Congress acts.

The Department of the Interior says Jewell will discuss the fund’s importance as a preservation tool and the need to reauthorize it and fully fund it.
