Southern California hunting, fishing and habitat would benefit from expansion of San Gabriel Mountains National Monument

The monument includes a privileged habitat for mule deer, black bear and bighorn sheep; provides access opportunities close to home for Angelenos

LOS ANGELES – Conservation of critical fish and wildlife habitat in Southern California could be advanced by President Biden’s use of the Antiquities Act to expand the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument by 109,000 acres, accomplishing the that Congress has not yet been able to do.

Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and its California chapter are part of a diverse coalition of athletes, outdoor recreationists, community members, and tribes supporting the San Gabriel Mountain Protection Act (HR 3681) led by Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA), and the Protecting California’s Unique and Beautiful Landscapes Through Investment in Land (PUBLIC) Act (S. 1776) containing the same language, led by Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA). These bills would expand conservation measures for the San Gabriel Mountains, enlarging the existing monument, adding more than 31,000 acres of wilderness, and designating more than 45 miles of river as wild and scenic. Traditional hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreational access would be maintained.

After passing the House multiple times in the 117th Congress and being considered in Senate committee, this legislation appears destined to languish in a divided Congress. Hunters and fishers and local leaders have been working for years to achieve this conservation vision for the San Gabriel Mountains region, and BHA supports the use of the Antiquities Act to address calls from community stakeholders. to expand the monument.

Eric Hanson, co-chair of the California chapter of the BHA, shared his support for conserving this precious landscape.

“We call on President Biden to use his authority through the Antiquities Act to safeguard critical natural and recreational resources in Southern California, and we are grateful to Representative Chu and Senator Padilla for their leadership,” Hanson said. “The San Gabriel Mountains National Monument is an outdoor sanctuary for residents of the Los Angeles area and provides urban residents with the local opportunity to recreate in its wild and scenic landscapes, including hunting and fishing. By expanding the monument, we ensure that this legacy is preserved for generations to come.”

The San Gabriel Mountains National Monument is home to a variety of game species, including mule deer and black bears, and is home to a healthy population of bighorn sheep. The area provides opportunities for hunting, fishing, and other forms of outdoor recreation for millions of Californians, including urban residents of Los Angeles and surrounding areas, who depend on mountains for access to clean air, water, and recreation. The expansion of the national monument would reinforce intact habitat and promote public access for all Americans, including hunters and fishermen whose licenses and excise taxes contribute significantly to wildlife and habitat conservation.

BHA has always championed the United States’ national monument system and the judicious use of the Antiquities Act as a way to permanently preserve important great landscapes. The key to achieving this outcome is a process that adheres to specific principles and is locally driven, transparent, incorporates science-based habitat management, and advocates for existing hunting and fishing opportunities.

US Department of Agriculture Unveils Historic $500 Million Investment in Wildlife Conservation

New Working Lands frameworks announced with plans to take advantage of the Conservation Reserve Program

Today, USDA Under Secretary Robert Bonnie announced that the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) would invest $500 million in Working Lands for Wildlife initiatives over the next five years. The historic investment will increase conservation assistance for farmers, ranchers, private forest owners, and tribes within key geographies and species while taking advantage of the Conservation Reserve Program.

“What an incredible commitment to wildlife on a significant scale,” said Ron Leathers, director of conservation for Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever. “This investment has the potential to reverse population declines in some of our most threatened grassland and upland species, including bobwhite quail, sage grouse and lesser prairie chicken. In addition, many other game and non-game species will greatly benefit from this announcement, along with improved water quality and soil health. Thank you USDA and its leaders for your dedication to America’s working lands, growers, wildlife, and rural communities.”

The announcement sets the wheels in motion to update existing frameworks for conservation action in the Northern Bobwhite, Grasslands and Savannas, Sagebrush Biome, and Great Plains Grasslands Biome to newly integrate the Farm Service Agency’s Conservation Reserve Program. USDA will also work with partners to develop four new frameworks to be released in 2024-25:

Western Migratory Big Game: A strategy to keep working lands large and connected in the West to help sustain some of our nation’s iconic wildlife migrations.

Eastern Deciduous Forest: A strategy for achieving forest health and habitat restoration that benefits declining wildlife that depends on young forests.

Eastern Aquatic Connectivity: A strategy to guide river and wetland restoration to support habitat connectivity in watersheds with important species at risk.

Southeast Pine Ecosystems: A strategy to establish and maintain native pines with cultural, ecological and economic value.

“When you find a conservation approach that works, double down, and that’s what we’re doing with Working Lands for Wildlife,” said Robert Bonnie, USDA Under Secretary for Agricultural Production and Conservation, who briefed state leaders today at the Western Governors Association meeting in Boulder, Colorado. “America’s farmers, ranchers, forest owners, and tribes steward most of our nation’s wildlife habitat, and our work with them has produced tremendous benefits for grouse, longleaf pine, and other species and ecosystems. . Working Lands for Wildlife is ready to take it to the next level, and today’s incorporation of the Conservation Reserves Program into his vision is a huge step forward. We commit to further developing the policy, funding and human capacity to achieve large-scale working land conservation in the future.”

Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever recognize the enormous impacts these investments will have for grassland species such as pheasants, quail, grouse, lesser prairie fowl, monarch butterflies, and native bees, all declining species with direct links to grassland loss. The organization views Working Lands for Wildlife as the primary focus for habitat conservation efforts that benefit people and wildlife for the future.

In a shared partnership with USDA and many other national, state, and local partners, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever have one of the largest private land biologist task forces in the United States to assist landowners with implementation. of voluntary conservation programs.
