Gila River: Wild & Scenic Designation
Yesterday was a historic moment for all outdoor enthusiasts! With the passing of GAOA, this means more opportunities for outdoor recreation, more access to public land and more funds for conservation efforts.
Here @nmwildlifefed we would like to thank everyone who helped to support, gain momentum and get this bill PASSED!
We're so excited for the future of conservation and so should you!
If you would like to get more involved DM @kamkam520 for more information!

Greater Gila Wild & Scenic Rivers Act
M.H. "Dutch" Salmon spent over 35 years working with the New Mexico Wildlife Federation and other conservation organizations to protect rivers and streams in the Gila region. U.S. Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich have introduced this legislation to provide necessary protection for the critical waterways that Dutch loved. The New Mexico Wildlife Federation is happy to see his legacy carried on in the naming of this bill. Once it's enacted into law, we can be confident that future generations will share his love for these areas.
Dr. Karl Malcolm, Southwest Regional Wildlife Ecologist with the US Forest Service, will be our guest speaker for May's Wildlife Wednesday (May 13th @ 6pm) via Zoom. Dr. Malcolm has a plethora of amazing hunting adventure stories to share and we want to know what you're interested in hearing!

Support the LWCF!
Tomorrow (Tuesday, November 19th) is a major day for public lands bills in the U.S. Senate. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee (SENR) will have a markup that will include a vote on PERMANENT FULL FUNDING FOR THE LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND (S. 1081)
Five damaging, weakening amendments have already been filed by Sens. Lee and Barrasso, so we need all hands on deck today for outreach to SENR Committee Members to OPPOSE ALL WEAKENING AMENDMENTS AND SUPPORT PASSAGE OF S. 1081, to finish the job Congress started earlier this year with S. 47 by ensuring the funds permanently set aside for conservation and recreation access through LWCF are actually, permanently spent on those very purposes.
Thank you to all that are caring for our US Capitol tree and those that are keeping our roads safe so it can make it’s journey to the Capitol!

This is the 3rd year that #newmexicowildlifefederation has been able to partner with #naca on this adventure. We all had an amazing time and tomorrow we will do it all over again.

#JesseDeubel and #JeremyRomero from the #NewMexicoWildlifeFederation spent the day with a group of students from Western Colorado University. The majority of these students are earning their master's degree in environmental management. The #NewMexicoWildlifeFederation guided the university students on a tour of Caja Del Rio, La Bajada Mesa and El Camino Real. Jeremy and Jesse educated the group about the human history of the area with evidence provided by the dense presence of antiquities. The group also enjoyed discussions about local flora and fauna. Engaging conversations ensued regarding the need to protect this area because of the habitat it provides as well as it's rich cultural and historical significance.

Sportsmen for the Land and Water Conservation Fund
Hunters and anglers in New Mexico have been some of the biggest beneficiaries of the Land and Water Conservation fund, a federal program with bipartisan support that helps acquire land and provides access to the public. LWCF is much more than that -- helping states and local communities build and improve outdoor recreation faciltiies like urban parks and sports fields. It's up to us to do our part to make sure the next generation enjoys the same opportunities that we did, and LWCF is arguably the nation's most successful conservation program. We can't let it expire. Contact Senator Martin Heinrich Senator Tom Udall Congressman Steve Pearce Congresswoman Michelle Lujan Grisham and Congressman Ben Ray Lujan today and tell them you support LWCF before it expires!
