“Residents of the Central Coast understand the vital role that access to our wild places plays on our quality of life, health, and the economy,” said Graciela Cabllo, ForestWatch director of youth and community engagement. “This bill would help protect some of our most critical assets our air, water, and open space for our communities and future generations.”

Just minutes into our trip along California’s storied Mojave Road we encountered the first obstacle some 20 yards of water between us and the way forward.
I walked the weedy stretch of the Mojave River, testing the depth with a stick. Two feet here, three there. Could the Jeep Wrangler make it?
I jumped back inside.
“The secret is to keep the wave moving in front so it doesn’t stall us out,” I told Brian, my traveling companion.

Plan a Wyoming waterfowl hunt this winter
Cheyenne – As big game seasons come to a close, Wyoming hunters are trading their rifles and bows for shotguns to take aim at waterfowl. The colder weather blanketing the region should send more birds south, just in time for the holiday break.
“We’ve had a more mild weather year,” said Noelle Smith, Wyoming Game and Fish Department migratory game bird and wetland habitat biologist. “But that is starting to change and that will push the birds from the north to Wyoming.”
For any waterfowl hunting trip, hunters should confirm they have the required licenses and stamps and that they are not expired. Waterfowl hunting in Wyoming has several requirements, and hunters must carry certain licenses and stamps with them when afield.

CASPER, Wyo. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department said on Monday that more waterfowl should be moving south into the state with colder weather “blanketing the region.”
“We’ve had a more mild weather year,” Game and Fish Biologist Noelle Smith said.. “But that is starting to change and that will push the birds from the north to Wyoming.”
Game and Fish added that wetlands “make exceptional waterfowl habitat.” Hunters with the necessary registration and stamps could find success on wildlife habitat management areas which offer waterfowl hunting such as Ocean Lake, Table Mountain, Soda Lake and Sand Mesa.
