They are also working towards creating more equitable practices for waterfowl hunters by opposing bills that endanger public land. It is important for us all to join forces with these organizations in order to ensure our wildlife neighbors have a happy and healthy life. By supporting these organizations we can help protect our environment from further destruction.
