New Effort To Make Private Land Access Easier

CBU opinion. Their has been a systematic closure of public lands access in the past approximate 30 years. CBU believes in public lands access, but also in private property rights. CBU is concerned as to the direction of this new government sponsored effort for private land access while more public lands are being closed everyday.  CBU will be reviewing this in more detail.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced a new effort to encourage owners and operators of privately held farm, ranch and forest land to voluntarily provide public access to land for the enjoyment of wildlife-dependent recreation, including hunting or fishing, under programs implemented by state or tribal governments.

“This administration is committed to preserving and enhancing the great conservation legacy of our nation’s hunters and anglers to benefit current and future generations,” said Vilsack. “This program will not only help achieve conservation goals, but also increase opportunities for hunting, fishing and other outdoor recreation by providing greater access to privately held lands for wildlife-dependent recreation.”
