The Lacey Act Lives On

Tim’s dedication to the park felt like a nod to the Lacey Act of 1900, a law that’s been a cornerstone of wildlife protection for over a century. Created by Congressman John F. Lacey, the Act was designed to combat illegal wildlife trade and protect fragile ecosystems from exploitation.

In dismantling the smuggling ring, Tim embraced the Lacey Act’s mission, becoming a modern-day guardian of endangered species and natural habitats. His tireless work ensured the park remained a sanctuary, reinforcing the timeless principles the Act set in motion. This victory wasn’t just legal—it was a conservation win, reminding us that protecting our planet’s biodiversity demands constant vigilance.
