The Conserving and Restoring America the Beautiful Plan and what it means for Hunters and Anglers with Collin O’ Mara, President and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation
We sit down with Collin to talk about the recently released, "Conserving and Restoring America the Beautiful" plan, formerly known as 30x30. We cover the plan's aim, its genesis, what we hope it does, how it can benefit hunters and anglers, and how average folks can get engaged.
