The U.S. House of Representatives Introduces the North American Grasslands Conservation Act The North American Grasslands Conservation Act has been introduced in the House of Representatives by U.S. Representatives Nancy Mace (R – S.C.), Sharice Davids (D – Kan.), Brian Fitzpatrick (R – Penn.) and Mike Thompson (D – Calif.). Once passed, the legislation will be one of the most significant steps for grassland conservation efforts in the 21st century. More than 70 percent of America’s tallgrass, mixed grass, and shortgrass prairies have vanished, followed by the precipitous decline of grassland bird populations – more than 40 percent since 1966. Additionally, grazing lands that have sustained generations of ranchers are dwindling and species from bobwhite quail and pheasants to monarch butterflies and elk to are struggling to navigate landscapes they used to call home. The Grasslands Act would kickstart the voluntary protection and restoration of grasslands and sagebrush shrub-steppe ecosystems – and the livelihoods and wildlife dependent upon them. Functionally, the legislation is modeled after the successful North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) and would create a landowner-driven, voluntary, incentive-based program to conserve America’s critically imperiled grasslands. There’s urgency to maintain these grassland biomes for agriculture, wildlife habitat, carbon sequestration and for future generations while supporting ranchers, farmers, Tribal Nations, sportsmen and women and rural communities.

We put 10 top upland hunting vests through the wringer last season, and here’s what our bird chasers have to say BY PHEASANTS FOREVER AND QUAIL FOREVER MEMBERS & STAFF Upland bird hunters hunger for the right hunting vest. Or a new hunting vest. Or a better hunting vest. But a real, serious upland huntingvest is a real, serious investment. It is a great investment, to be sure, but not one to take lightly. You want meaningful, independent reviews to kickstart your decision-making process. Thats why, all season long last year, from prairie and forest grouse time all the way through pheasant and quail seasons, we had 10 real, serious upland hunters each hunting in one vest with a goal of reporting back in detail for PF & QF’s Ultimate Upland Vest Review. One might ask, is this a review of the ultimate vests for upland bird hunting, or the ultimate review of upland hunting vests? The answer is both. Consider the following pages follow some window shopping for your own first (or next) real-and-serious upland bird hunting vest. Read each vest review at https://lnkd.in/gV8pxrmN
