This week, we are continuing the series talking about transferring federal land to the states and, in particular, how Congress has the ability to fix a lot of the issues with land management; they just refuse to do so.
Some other news stories include;
Trump’s executive order to pause federal grants and funding led to panic and confusion amongst many in the conservation world as billions in funding was about to be cut off.
A bill in Wyoming popped up that would have made private landowner tags transferable, sending wildlife down a path of privatization.
Another bill in Wyoming aims to make mountain lion hunting wide open within the state.
At the national level, a bill has been re-introduced into Congress that would require congressional approval for the sale and transfer of public lands to non-federal entities in most instances.
