Hal Herring is a fantastic outdoor writer who lives in Augusta. One of his gigs is writing the conservation blog for Field and Stream. His latest installment is about the cuts to Conservation Programs in the House of Representative's Budget.
Some of these cuts would impact access programs, conservation easements, Wetland rehabilitation, and the list goes on and on.
Most of the programs are money makers in that restored habitat tends to bring more money to local communities than beat up dirt patches. DU, TU, RMEF, TRCP, BHA, MWF and many, many more organizations have sent a letter to congress asking them to reverse these cuts.
This is one instance where all user groups, and non-profits can come together to advocate for programs that actually help wildlife, and help local economies.
There's also a good piece about the oil spill on the Yellowstone at the beginning of the blog.
