Reestablished under the Trump Administration, this federal advisory council provides recommendations to the federal government through the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture on wildlife and habitat conservation, hunting and shooting sports, partnerships, and public access to hunting and shooting opportunities.
“Hunters and shooting sports enthusiasts have a long history of supporting wildlife conservation and responsible stewardship of our lands and waters,” said Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum. “This Council brings their experience directly to the table as we work to expand access, strengthen conservation and ensure America’s hunting and outdoor traditions continue for generations to come.”
“I am appreciative of the appointment to represent the interest of hunters engaged in domestic and international hunting and conservation” said, WSF’s Corey Mason. “We are grateful for the Administration and DOI and DOA’s leadership in reestablishing the council and seeking input on wildlife conservation, encouraging partnerships and collaboration, and increasing public access to hunting and shooting sports opportunities.”
“Americans have a long and storied history tied to supporting our nation’s beautiful outdoors. By hearing directly from the hunters and sportsmen who spend their time in nature, we can better direct federal resources and policies to ensure responsible stewardship of our nation’s forests,” said Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins. “These incredible men and women who have agreed to serve on the council will serve as valuable resource as we work to Make America Beautiful Again.”
