The connection between healthy forests and clean water

Forests are important ecosystems that provide a wide range of benefits to people and the environment. One of the most important benefits of forests is their role in providing clean water for drinking, agriculture, wildlife, and recreation by acting as natural water filters, removing pollutants and other impurities before they reach streams, rivers, and other water sources.

Collaboration between the NWTF, the USDA Forest Service, and the California Deer Association in timber transport pilot in the Klamath National Forest of Northern California reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires fostering a forest ecosystem that can better survive them. By creating a forest that can withstand wildfires, you will reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires, which can lead to increased sedimentation, decreased seepage, and degraded soil health, ultimately compromising water quality. By promoting a healthy forest ecosystem, we can ensure our watersheds continue to provide clean, reliable water for wildlife and our communities for years to come.

Wildfires not only have a short-term impact on water quality during the active burning period, but also have the potential to negatively affect water quality for months or even years after the fire has been contained.

When high intensity forest fires are active, they can have deleterious effects on water quality by depositing ash and other contaminants in streams, lakes, and water reservoirs, leading to contamination of drinking water and recreational areas. This can make it difficult and expensive to provide clean water to nearby communities. Additionally, after a significant wildfire, rain and runoff can mobilize ash, sediment, and other contaminants from the burned area and transport them to water sources far from the original burned area.

In addition, there are also many detrimental long-term impacts on water quality and quantity. When a wildfire occurs, the vegetation that is responsible for holding water and holding soil in place is often destroyed. This can lead to erosion and flooding, particularly in areas where the fire has been particularly intense. The absence of vegetation in the watershed can also reduce the total amount of water absorbed into the soil, leading to changes in water flow and water availability. This is particularly problematic in regions that rely on water from the affected watershed for drinking, agriculture, or other purposes, such as the Klamath National Forest.

The health of our national forests plays a vital role in the condition of our water, especially in California. Forests act as a source, filter, and regulator of water from upper watersheds to provide clean water for communities, wildlife habitats, and the industries that depend on it.

The Forest Service reports that the Klamath National Forest contributes approximately 995 billion gallons of water per year. This water is a critical resource for communities, agriculture, and industries in California, highlighting the importance of the work of the NWTF and its partners.

“The NWTF recognizes that the strong relationship between healthy forests and healthy watersheds in providing clean, high-quality water for people, places, and wild turkeys is a key conservation priority,” said Travis Smith, NWTF Western Water Specialist. .

These benefits highlight the importance of ongoing projects within the 20-year national stewardship agreement. To learn more about the NWTF’s efforts to address pressing conservation issues in the United States, you can read about America’s Big Six here.

House bills would weaken and defund the Land and Water Conservation Fund

BHA strongly condemns a set of House bills that would undermine America’s most successful conservation and access program

WASHINGTON – Backcountry Hunters & Anglers is strongly criticizing four bills in the House of Representatives that target the Land and Water Conservation Fund and the Great American Outdoors Act, the bipartisan law that guarantees continued funding for the LWCF.

Together, the four bills would hamper the ability of public land management agencies to strategically acquire areas of important fish and wildlife habitat and key locations for public access. HR 2207, HR 2158, and HR 2169 would defund the acquisition of public lands by the US Forest Service, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Park Service through LWCF funds. HR 2153 would severely limit the acquisition of public land by the Bureau of Land Management with a funding cap of $28 million, less than half the proposed budget. Prohibiting these agencies from using all LWCF tools will lead to management inefficiencies and prevent critical investments that expand public access.

Hunters and fishermen, including BHA members and supporters, have played a key role in sustaining the LWCF, America’s most popular and successful access and conservation program. BHA members helped push through the bipartisan Dingell Act, which permanently reauthorizes LWCF, in 2019, and subsequently passed the Great American Outdoors Act in 2020. With strong bipartisan support led by Republicans and Democrats, The Great American Outdoors Act was Advanced by three-fourths of members of Congress and signed into law by President Trump, a strong supporter of the program. GAOA secures full and permanent funding for LWCF at $900 million annually, ensuring the program’s continued ability to conserve important habitats and recreational lands and waters throughout the United States.

“Together, hunters and fishermen have made some critical conservation gains in recent years,” said John Gale, BHA vice president of policy and government relations, “but our constant vigilance is critical, as there will always be forces trying to take away those victories Today, we are united in opposing legislation that would steal one of our greatest conservation gains to date this century, and today, we remain committed to keeping the Land and Water Conservation Fund dollars working in the name of conservation, public access and our hard-earned outdoor life. traditions

“The Land and Water Conservation Fund exists today because millions of Americans, including BHA members who have called and emailed our elected officials, outdoor advocates who have spoken out, companies who have taken advantage of their influence and elected leaders who rallied on both sides of the aisle, worked together relentlessly,” Gale continued. “The LWCF story is a story of American democracy, of shared commitment in the name of public lands, conservation and access. Together we must act as sentinels to defend our victories and secure the future of our outdoor heritage.”

Since its inception in 1964, the LWCF has funded more than 40,000 projects and provided access to millions of acres of public land, all without spending taxpayer dollars. Places ranging from Tenderfoot Creek, Montana, to Bayou Sauvage, Louisiana, depend on LWCF to support local economies, enhance hunting and fishing opportunities, and maintain quality habitat for elk, duck, trout, and other game species. that thrive on our public lands and waters. .

BHA members speak out against HR 2207, 2158, 2169 and 2153 and in support of LWCF.

The FLEX G-36 has its renowned connectivity further refined and optimized so that hunters can enjoy the best possible experience.

The other features hunters loved about the original FLEX are still in use, like 100-foot flash and detect ranges and the ability to perform wireless firmware updates. Additionally, the camera controls are unchanged, so the intuitive camera display and test and format buttons remain unchanged.

The FLEX G-36 will be available at retail for $119.99 starting May 15.
