JWM: Deer feeders help spread CWD - The Wildlife Society Researchers analyzed deer contact at different feeding hubs to find which presented the largest risks

Scenic photo of a river and mountains, with text: The American Fisheries Society stands strong in its support for the federal workforce. Federal fisheries professionals serve as the stewards of America’s natural resources. But the current termination of federal employees threatens the very foundation of fisheries and aquatic resources stewardship in this country. This stewardship is at risk, and with it the public trust resources citizens have enjoyed for generations. The continued layoffs and other attempts to reduce the workforce will erode the knowledge, skills and experience needed to manage our natural resources. This will have long-term devastating impacts on everyone who relies on public lands and waters for their livelihoods and well-being, as well as devastating an essential professional workforce for years, perhaps decades. The value this workforce brings to conservation, science, and stewarding our public trust resources cannot be overstated—all of which benefits every U.S. citizen. Read our entire statement: fisheries.org.

Fired Park Rangers Try to ‘Open Some Hearts’ on Social Media Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about their firings and share their love of the National Park Service.

It is tough to do sea lamprey control in the US waters of the Great Lakes when front line control agents are fired. Just one of the consequences associated with random terminations of environmental professionals in the US.
