Protecting and Expanding Access for Sportsmen and Women
Access to quality outdoor opportunities for sportsmen and women is one of the greatest limiting factors facing the sporting-conservation community. CSF works at the federal and state levels to defend public land ownership, expand recreational access, and remove unnecessary barriers that limit opportunity for sportsmen and women.
From safeguarding millions of acres from disposal to advancing walk-in access programs and modernizing access policy, we lead on the issues that ensure hunting, fishing, trapping, and recreational shooting remain accessible for generations to come.
Public Lands in Public Hands
We defend against efforts to sell or transfer public lands that would limit access for sportsmen and women without a thoughtful and transparent process.
Expanded Recreational Access
We advance policies that open new opportunities on public and private lands through strategic partnerships and legislation such as the Making Public Lands Public initiative to facilitate access to landlocked parcels of public lands.
Balanced Resource Use
We support policies that allow for responsible multiple-use management practices that improve fish and wildlife habitat and access for sportsmen and women.
Long-Term Opportunity
Today’s policies must ensure future generations are afforded the same or greater access as we do today.
