Some were sent regarding events at the Federal level and sent to agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, Department of Commerce and the Interior, both Maryland Senators, and the entire Maryland U.S. Congressional delegation at the state level. The committee wrote letters to the Governor, the Department of Natural Resources, the County Executive, and several state/county governing bodies. The committee worked on topics that have direct implications for bird conservation such as wind power, endangered species, land usage, and others. Mailings went to members, legislators, or the public. Most mailings are electronic; any postage fees are voluntarily donated by the members of the Conservation Committee. Direct contact with legislators, their staffs, government officials, or a legislative body: on occasion, members of the Conservation Committee (primarily the Committee Chair) attend public legislative hearings at the state and county level, and provide oral arguments in support of environmental/conservation issues. Again, any expenses incurred such as POV mileage are not reimbursed as the committee voluntarily donates these.
