THE ISSUES
Millions of Acres of Public Land That You Can’t Get To
With the help of onX, we’ve identified nearly 16 million acres of public land across the West that is entirely landlocked by private land and therefore inaccessible to sportsmen and women.
Land and Water Conservation Fund
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) is supported through royalties paid by energy companies drilling for oil and gas and helps pay for the acquisition of new hunting and fishing areas, expansion of public access, and improvements to fish and wildlife habitat.
Public Access and Habitat on Private Lands
Safeguarding public lands isn’t enough in states like Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, where agriculture and private lands dominate the landscape. Connecting sportsmen with private land open to hunting and fishing, while supporting landowner habitat is key.
Backcountry Conservation Management
The future of 71 million acres of Bureau of Land Management public lands is being decided as the agency develops local land-use plans across the West. This is the last opportunity for sportsmen to conserve some of our best hunting and fishing areas. (Image: Sara Domek)
