Tonight, President Trump signed an Executive Order prioritizing America’s hunting heritage. We appreciate @POTUS for expressing his support for America’s duck hunters tonight, and we look forward to our continued work with the Admin to conserve waterfowl habitat across the U.S.

Thank you for listening to the voices of 200,000+ duck hunters across America and for your continued leadership and partnership in protecting the critical, voluntary wetland easements that sustain the Duck Factory. We’re grateful for the @USFWS’s commitment to conservation. 🦆🇺🇸

Thank you to @RepDavidKustoff for standing up for duck hunters and rallying your colleagues to do the same. We appreciate all of our friends in Congress who joined this effort to protect the Duck Factory. Your support will ensure the continued protection of habitat that sustains more than half of our nation’s waterfowl population, and every duck hunter in America should be grateful.

Great news - the House @NatResources Committee just introduced the bipartisan Great American Outdoors Act 250, which will invest $1.9 billion into our national parks & public lands over 5 years. We thank Chairman @RepWesterman & Ranking Member @RepHuffman for leading this important legislation to conserve habitat & improve access for America's hunters, anglers, & outdoor recreationists. #DuckPolicy Read more ⤵️ ducks.org/newsroom/ducks-…

Thank you @SecretaryBurgum. Giving people more places to hunt, fish, and create lasting memories ensures these traditions remain strong for future generations. Thank you to @Interior and @USFWS for expanding access to America’s vast public lands, and for prioritizing America’s sportsmen and women.

Ducks Unlimited mourns the tragic passing of @USFWS federal wildlife officer David Taylor, who rushed into a burning structure to help residents evacuate from the Railroad South Fire. Officer Taylor’s final moments were spent going door to door alongside emergency personnel helping residents get to safety. Putting himself in danger to help others escape it. His actions were selfless and courageous, and his sacrifice was heroic. We offer our sincere condolences to his family, friends, and fellow officers.

Great news for hunters and all outdoor recreationists: @USFWS announced more than $67 million for wetlands conservation on national wildlife refuges. This includes $44.79 million in NAWCA funding approved by the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission. Thanks to @SecretaryBurgum & the members of the MBCC for approving this important funding to conserve waterfowl habitat.

Thank you to Rep.@RobWittman and his fellow Migratory Bird Conservation Commission colleagues @JohnBoozman, @SenatorHeinrich, and @RepThompson for their leadership in support of the Duck Factory - and for all they do for waterfowl and migratory birds.

“Healthy grazing lands are essential to a healthy landscape. The RANCH Act recognizes the conservation value of these grazing lands while helping address the need for additional grazing. This legislation helps ranchers restore marginal cropland to perennial cover and managed grazing. Ducks Unlimited supports voluntary, rancher-driven solutions that improve habitat, soil and water quality while keeping ranchers on the land for generations to come.” -Ryan Taylor, DU Director of Public Policy

Thanks to @SenJohnCurtis, @SenJeffMerkley, and their colleagues on @EPWGOP|@EPWCmte for the Senate's unanimous passage of the Wildfire Emissions Prevention Act. Prescribed fire is an essential tool for managing wildlife habitat on public and private lands, and DU supports this bipartisan legislation.

Thank you, @SenatorDurbin, for championing water quality issues in the Great Lakes!
