Support AB 270: Best Practices for Hunter Safety
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to support AB 270, which is before the Assembly Committee on Sporting Heritage on Tuesday.
Comprehensive hunter education programs ensure that every Wisconsinite has access to the same information about hunter safety and ethics-related responsibilities. AB 270 would require the DNR to offer in-person field training for Wisconsinites under 18 who wish to receive their hunter education certification. This is an important addition to current requirements, and will help ensure every hunter is proficient in safety and ethics practices critical to maintaining our sporting heritage.
Support AB 655: Supporting Grazing on Perennial Grasslands
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to support AB 655, which is before the Assembly Committee on Agriculture on Thursday.
Managed grazing protects our water and builds healthy soil. Wisconsin should assist farmers in transitioning to managed grazing systems on perennial grasslands. AB 655 would create a new program for providing grants to farmers in making the transition to managed grazing.
Conservation Notices of the Week (CNOW) announces the pro-conservation positions on issues before the senate, assembly and/or governor in the week ahead to state legislators. Others wishing to follow activities in the state legislature also receive CNOW, including legislative staff, conservation voters, and media. All of these issues are tracked on the Vote Tracker. Issues in the CNOW may appear in the Conservation Scorecard.
