NMWF 2021 Goals
Goal #3: Contribute to the passage of the Recovering America's Wildlife Act. This Act will provide approximately $27,000,000 more each year to New Mexico to support the management of our wildlife.
12/28/2020
NMWF 2021 Goals
Goal #2: Achieve Wild and Scenic Rivers designation for the greater Gila River and its tributaries. This key protection ensures that over 400 miles of waterways in the Gila region will remain pristine for future generations. Wild and Scenic protections provide security that these exceptional riparian landscapes will continue to support wildlife and all the people who value wildlife including hunters and anglers.
12/28/2020
NMWF 2021 Goals
Goal #1: Add at least 50,000 acres to our federally managed public lands in New Mexico. These lands would be purchased with a variety of monies ranging from private donations to dollars provided by the Land and Water Conservation Fund. All acquisitions are the result of an agreement made between a willing seller and a willing buyer. These lands would become publicly accessible to all Americans for hunting, fishing and other public land recreation.

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.

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.

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!

A Wild and Scenic Gila for All
The New Mexico Wildlife Federation strongly believes the Gila is an exemplary candidate for Wild & Scenic designation, as it is one of the nation’s last wild and free-flowing rivers in the Southwest, with no large dams to impede the natural flow of waters. The Gila is also where Aldo Leopold, our founder, helped convince the U.S. Forest Service to protect the headwaters of this unique New Mexican treasure, leading to the nation’s first designated WIlderness area under the Wilderness Act of 1964. Learn more about why Gila Wild & Scenic Designation benefits hunters and anglers, and join us and other sportsmen’s organizations in calling for the protection and conservation of this important waterway in New Mexico, and sign our petition today! http://nmwildlife.org/news/hunters-anglers-support-wild-scenic-gila-river/

New Mexico Wildlife Federation
For over a century the New Mexico Wildlife Federation has been working on behalf of sportsmen and women like you.
Since 1914 we’ve advocated for sound wildlife management, access to public lands, protection of our waters, and provided opportunities to pursue the outdoor traditions that helped make America what it is today. New Mexico Wildlife Federation has an amazing record of success. Over the last 100 years our organization has:
After 100 years, the New Mexico Wildlife Federation remains true to its roots by advocating for the issues that matter to the sportsmen and women of New Mexico. We’re also looking forward, by providing opportunities for children across the state to learn how to hunt, fish, and camp so they will grow to be stewards of the lands that belongs to all of us.
The New Mexico Wildlife Federation has a long and storied history working on behalf of New Mexican sportsmen and women to protect wildlife, habitat, and opportunity for all. Aldo Leopold came to New Mexico with the U.S. Forest Service around 1910 and fell in love with the Southwest. By 1914, he and other sportsmen created the New Mexico Game Protective Association, and began working on behalf of wildlife and the hunters and anglers who relied on it. Eventually that organization changed its name and became the New Mexico Wildlife Federation.
Today, we are a nonprofit, member-driven organization working all over New Mexico. We hold monthly sportsmen and women’s meetings across the state where we discuss hunting and fishing tips and connect with our members, we provide opportunities for the New Mexican citizenry to make their voices heard on the issues that matter to all outdoor recreationalists, and host events where communities can connect to the outdoors.

Whether we like it or not ... Continued reliance on Oil and Gas revenue for our state budget would leave us on a permanent downslope for funding education, health care, public lands management, human services and even roads. It’s past time to diversify NM’s revenues! #nmpol #nmleg #nmbudgethttps://ieefa.org/ieefa-u-s-plummeting-oil-and-gas-prices-leave-new-mexicos-budget-short-by-hundreds-of-millions-of-dollars/
Received the following note from the Albuquerque Water Authority. Please send a note to [email protected]
and ask that they consider allowing the water level to increase at Abiquiu Reservoir. Share this to whomever you think will write in, perhaps we can encourage a little common sense and retain a little water during the spring runoff. The current lake levels are very low and the boat ramps are nearly unusable. Raising the lake level would benefit sportsmen, visitors, anglers, and wildlife. Increasing the storage of drinking water also seems to make sense for future dry years.
"Our Customer Service Department forwarded to me your inquiry regarding retention of water in Abiquiu Reservoir. The reservoir is our primary storage site for water imported from southern Colorado as part of the San Juan-Chama Project, and as such is a critical part of Albuquerque’s water supply infrastructure. The Water Authority is sensitive to the needs that you mention and works with other agencies to ensure that releases from the reservoir are timed for optimum benefit to all stakeholders. In that vein, we already hold back water in the reservoir every year that we are otherwise permitted to release.
This is all by way of saying that we are keeping as much San Juan-Chama water in Abiquiu as we can, and hope to increase storage levels for native water in future years. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Rick Shean [email protected]

NM State Senate Bill SJR3 titled TRANSFER JURISDICTION OF NATIONAL PARK UNITS would grant concurrent jurisdiction to the state over the Valles Caldera NP and Petroglyphs NM. Honestly I don't understand exactly what this bill would do, but I was curious if you were following it.
Successful predator and habitat management in Utah helps mule deer reach a 40 year high while our newly elected NM State Land Commissioner outlaws coyote calling contests on state trust lands an states that trapping is next.
By the way, Utah offers a $50.00 bounty on each coyote.
