Support Hunting and Fishing on BLM Lands

Sportsmen standing for access, habitat, and our best hunting and fishing areas

What’s Happening

From high mountain basins to sage benches and badlands, and from river corridors to forests of pine and juniper, America’s 438 million acres of Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service public lands are some of the best places to hunt and fish on the planet. This is sportsmen’s country, and as true citizens of the outdoors, we have a responsibility to speak up for the future of our public lands and hunting and fishing traditions.

Right now, decision makers in Washington, D.C., are attempting to rewrite the rules on how our public lands are managed. Unless sportsmen and women get involved, habitat safeguards for fish and game species could be eliminated and our hunting and fishing access and opportunities could be diminished.

Don’t let this happen. Speak up today for balanced multiple-use management of our public lands that support habitat conservation and our outdoor traditions.
What’s At Stake

Imagine your favorite hunting or fishing destination on public lands—the one you dream about in the off-season and can’t get enough of when the season is open.

Now think of that place being transformed into an industrialized landscape full of heavy machinery, dust, and noise. Unless lawmakers understand the need to manage public lands in a balanced way, that’s what could happen in some of America’s finest sporting destinations.

Only we can ensure that sportsmen’s country remains a hunting and fishing paradise. It’s not enough to simply keep it public—we need responsible management of our public lands to ensure a positive future for hunting, fishing, and our way of life.

If you’re ready to do more, sign the petition.

Public lands need proper management and funding

Dear Decision Maker:

This is my bottom line: I expect my decision makers to honor and support a system of belief on public lands management that allows our great American traditions of hunting, fishing, and enjoying the outdoors to flourish. In addition to keeping America’s public lands in the public’s hands, I request that you actively work to:

Conserve important habitats, including critical winter range, sensitive watersheds, big game migration corridors and stopover habitat
Safeguard special places where hunting and fishing are the highest and best use
Guarantee the sporting public a voice in how their public lands are managed
Ensure that energy development is balanced with the needs of fish and wildlife habitat and take active steps to reduce impacts
Maintain existing public access to public lands and secure future access to currently inaccessible public lands by reauthorizing and ensuring strong funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund
Keep decision-making authority for public lands in the hands of federal public land agencies while supporting strong state and local collaboration
Provide federal land management agencies the tools and funding necessary to effectively manage our public lands, and back agency leaders who fully support the mission and purpose of the public land agency they are being chosen to serve
Fund and facilitate habitat improvement and restoration to boost fish and wildlife populations
Address the significant costs of wildfire and wildfire suppression activities that currently shift money away from the annual management budgets of public land agencies
Support the existing authority of state fish and wildlife agencies to manage fish and wildlife populations
Work together with public land stakeholders to collaboratively address 21st-century land management challenges in ways that protect and restore fish and wildlife habitat

Thank you for considering my comments to improve our public lands and the hunting and fishing opportunities they provide.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
