Walz Leads Bipartisan Conservation Measure to Protect Natural Hunting and Fishing Habitats, Invigorate Outdoor Economy

Today, Congressman Tim Walz, Co-Chair of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus, introduced bipartisan legislation to protect our natural state treasures and invigorate the outdoor economy. The Sportsmen's Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Enhancement Act reauthorizes several proven, effective conservation measures to conserve critical hunting and fishing habitat.

"Conservation is vital to protect our lakes, streams, rivers, and forests, as well as invigorating the outdoor economy that supports hundreds of thousands of jobs and contributes billions to our economy each year," said Congressman Walz, Co-Chair of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus. "This commonsense bill works to push forward a number of key conservation priorities, which have proven to be effective and enjoy broad support amongst the millions of men and women who comprise the outdoor recreational community. I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan measure to help conserve our natural, national treasures and push our economy forward."
