Interior Secretary Doug Burgum Poised to Open 95% of Federal Conservation Lands to Hunting and Fishing

The Trump administration is set to roll back restrictions on federal lands, allowing access to over 95% of conservation areas for hunting and fishing. This move represents a significant shift in federal land management policy, prioritizing private property rights and economic opportunity over federal preservation mandates. The decision aligns with the administration's broader deregulatory agenda and aims to restore traditional uses of public lands.
