Advocacy Alert – Threat to National Historic Preservation Act!

FIRST ACTION ITEM: WRITE YOUR GOVERNOR

NEXT WEBINAR AUGUST 12TH

SECTION 106 NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT IS BEING THREATENED

This past week the ACHP voted to revise the governing regulations for Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). These revisions, if passed, would “drastically reduce the effectiveness of the NHPA and the current legal protections for historic and cultural places.” – National Trust for Historic Preservation

“Section 106 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to consider the effects on historic properties of projects they carry out, assist, fund, permit, license, or approve throughout the country…(it) gives the ACHP, interested parties, and public the chance to weigh in on these matters before a final decision is made.” – Advisory Council on Historic Preservation website

On July 30, a webinar was held to discuss this threat and what you can do. You can view that recording here. The National Trust will have a follow up webinar Wednesday, August 12, 2026 at 1:00pm central time, please REGISTER HERE.
