Investments to conserve, restore, and manage fish and wildlife pump billions into the economy - fueling jobs, powering the $1.1 trillion outdoor recreation industry, and rivaling major U.S. sectors. 

A report and recommendations prepared by the Aquatic Invasive Species Commission, which includes the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, American Sportfishing Association, Bass Pro Shops, BoatUS, National Marine Manufacturers Association, Yamaha, and YETI.

Untapped hunting and fishing opportunities in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

In a follow-up to our 2018 Unlocking Public Lands Report, the TRCP and onX have identified an additional 6.35 million landlocked acres of state-owned public lands across the West. This new report also highlights the various ways states are addressing this access issue, so that effective solutions can be more widely adopted across the region.

This report highlights our work on behalf of healthy habitat, clean water, sportsmen’s access, and the outdoor recreation economy in 2018. As partisanship raged on, political pressures did not sway us from criticizing bad conservation policies or giving the administration credit where it was due. We also saw some of our major efforts to convene and lead the hunting and fishing community over the past five years come to fruition in a new Farm Bill, passage of the Modern Fish Act, and permanent reauthorization for the Land and Water Conservation Fund. But we’re not resting on our laurels. Legislative wins mean nothing if programs are underfunded or if conservation agencies fail to implement policies in time to have an impact.

Americans are locked out of 9.52 million acres of federal public lands that are entirely landlocked and can be accessed only with the permission of neighboring private landowners. Surprisingly, though, little has been done to understand the scope of the problem, its effect on our hunting and fishing opportunities, or what it will take to systematically unlock these lands—until now.

This Annual Report is a comprehensive update on progress towards our goals in 2017 and our vision for continuing to pursue legacy-setting conservation policy solutions. Learn more about our most recent efforts to create a crescendo of support for conservation of the places where silence unlocks the possibilities in the natural world around us.

One truism in Washington is that not much in the way of policy happens in an election year, and last year was no exception. Yet, 2016 was far from quiet for the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, as we’ve outlined in our newest Annual Report. Primarily, we focused on building the strength of the sportsman’s voice in Washington and laying the foundation for campaigns to come.
