Dear Public Lands Supporter,
Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are closely following the budget reconciliation bill now being considered in the U.S. Senate, which contains provisions for the sell-off of America’s public lands.
Up to three million acres of OUR public lands across 11 western states could be offered for sale through this bill — with no opportunity for sportsmen and women to have a say.
The proposal would mandate sales of public land in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. This could be devastating for hunters, access and wildlife across the West, while setting a dangerous precedent for public lands throughout the country — your most cherished wild places could be next on the chopping block.
This proposal comes after similar provisions in the U.S. House version of the bill were soundly defeated, thanks to public land advocates like you, who stood up and made their voices heard.
America’s sportsmen and women have already spoken, and we now ask the Senate to listen.
