House Votes to Improve Habitat on Federal Forests

The Boone and Crockett Club is applauding the U.S. House of Representatives for its vote to improve wildlife habitat and funding mechanisms for fighting wildfires. The House on July 9 passed H.R. 2647, the "Resilient Federal Forests Act of 2015," sponsored by Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.) and supported by 26 national sporting and conservation organizations. The bill contains many of the best ideas for forest management considered by Congress over the last several years.
