Massachusetts: HB 4420 would severely impact sportsmen and women who lawfully hunt in Massachusetts or the surrounding states. It would restrict private property rights, and generally criminalize gun ownership—all of which would hamper conservation efforts in Massachusetts funded through hunters and recreational shooters. MA advocates, take action now!
Pennsylvania: The State Senate included an amendment in the budget that would transfer $150 million from the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s Game Fund to fund Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts. This proposed transfer would significantly impact the PGC’s on the ground conservation work. PA advocates, take action now!
