Trump administration plans to expand hunting and fishing on public lands
"The Trump administration plans to open 2.3 million acres of land for hunting and fishing at more than 100 national wildlife refuges and fish hatcheries under a proposal unveiled Wednesday that is aimed at giving Americans more recreational access on public lands," Brady McCombs reports for ABC News. "The plan earned applause from several hunting and fishing groups, but criticism from one conservation organization that called it 'tone deaf' to focus on this during the covid-19 pandemic."
