The Nature Conservancy has enlisted a former Trump White House official and three former House Republican leadership aides to lobby for its conservation agenda.
Republicans Alexander Angelson, Brittan Specht, Jason Yaworske and Preston Hill have registered to lobby for the conservation group, their firm Michael Best Strategies disclosed in a lobbying registration filed this month.
The move suggests the environmental organization is eyeing inroads with the Republicans who control both chambers of Congress and the White House.
It comes after the Trump team has spent its first 10 months in office dismantling many of the environmental and conservation policies enacted during the Biden administration, forcing green groups to recalibrate their strategies.
