No Funding, No Trespassing

An article from The Hill By Steve Kline, Director, Center for Agricultural Lands at the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership   http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/energy-a-environment/195833-no-funding-no-trespassing   Before breaking for Thanksgiving, Congress voted to de-fund the Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP) as part of the FY2012 agriculture appropriations bill.  It is ironic that funding for a program that encourages landowners to make their property accessible to hunters and anglers would be eliminated just as millions of hunters nationwide prepared to hit the woods over the holiday weekend. And whether or not they hunt themselves, all Americans benefit from sportsmen’s dollars and the conservation investments provided by license sales and excise taxes, and therefore, the elimination of VPA-HIP deserves some attention.
