ACTION ALERT‼️ IOWA RESIDENTS‼️Bad legislation threatens wildlife habitat and public hunting lands in Iowa. Senate File 516 has passed Iowa Senate and is currently being considered by the House. Link below to learn more and make your voice heard. https://www.pheasantsforever.org/BlogLanding/Blogs/Pheasants-Forever/Bad-Legislation-Threatens-Wildlife-Habitat-and-Public-Hunting-Lands-in-Iowa.aspx Due to this direct attempt to jeopardize wildlife habitat on state lands, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are asking for you to immediately voice your opposition to Senate File 516! It has been made clear that Senate File 516 was created with the intent to dramatically limit the Iowa DNR’s ability to protect, restore, and expand our public lands. The bill has passed the Senate and is currently being considered in the Iowa House. It would decrease access to quality habitat and reduce opportunities for current and future generations to enjoy Iowa’s public lands and the wildlife that rely on them. This bill will be discussed at the full House Environmental Protection Committee meeting on Tuesday, March 21. However, there will be no opportunity for public comment, so it is imperative to take action NOW and contact the members of the committee AND your own representative.
