Healthy habitat means thriving wildlife.

We welcome @Interior and @USFWS’s plan to return our national wildlife refuges to their original purposes by focusing on active habitat management, tackling maintenance backlogs and expanding hunting and fishing access.

A commonsense win for wildlife and sportsmen!

[Secretary Doug Burgum @SecretaryBurgum]

Conservation happens on the ground, led by the people closest to our lands and wildlife who know them best.

Under @POTUS, we’re cutting red tape and putting resources where they have the biggest impact. These commonsense recommendations provide a practical path to healthier wildlife habitats, stronger partnerships and more opportunities for Americans to hunt, fish and enjoy our public lands.

They’ve served our country in uniform. Today, we’re proud to serve alongside them.

Veterans throughout Interior’s workforce bring invaluable leadership, discipline and experience to our mission every day.

Thank you for continuing to serve our Nation. 🇺🇸

[U.S. Department of the Interior @Interior]

On Veterans Day, we honor the brave women and men who answered the call to serve our nation. Thank you for your service, commitment and sacrifices. 🇺🇸

[Secretary Doug Burgum @SecretaryBurgum]

Happy Veterans Day to all of the men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States Armed Forces.

Today is a day to remember and reflect on the generations who answered the call, who stood watch on distant lands, and who came home forever changed. It is a day to thank those who served and to support the families who stand beside them.

My father served as a naval officer in the Pacific during WWII aboard the USS Wren, a Fletcher-class destroyer. He didn't speak often about his service, but when he did, it was with quiet humility and deep respect for those who served with him.

To every veteran, from every branch, in every era, we are grateful for you.

Happy Veterans Day! Today and every day, we honor the brave men and women whose sacrifice ensures our freedom. Thank you for your service and dedication to defending our nation.

With entrance fees waived today for U.S. citizens and residents, you can visit a national park site that honors our veterans and reflects on their service.

[Rep. Jeff Hurd @RepJeffHurd]

Tribal sovereignty means respecting the right of Tribal nations to make decisions for their own communities, lands, and resources. For generations, Tribal nations have cared for the land and wildlife that are central to their cultures and traditions. Washington should respect that expertise and support Tribal self-determination, not impose unnecessary barriers.

I’m proud to lead bipartisan legislation that puts Tribal nations in the driver’s seat on buffalo conservation, strengthens their authority to manage these important resources, and creates new economic opportunities across Indian Country.

As Chairman of the Indian and Insular Affairs Subcommittee, I believe the federal government’s responsibility is to honor its trust and treaty obligations while respecting Tribal sovereignty. I’ll continue working across party lines to ensure Tribal nations have the authority, resources, and flexibility to make decisions that serve their people and preserve their traditions for generations to come.

Water is life!

Great to join Crow Tribe Chairman Frank Whiteclay today at Yellowtail Afterbay Dam to celebrate our Crow Tribe Water Rights Settlement Amendments Act becoming law!

From this major win for the Crow Tribe to our Fort Peck water legislation being signed into law, we’re making real progress on rural water infrastructure across central and eastern Montana.

Every Montanan deserves access to clean, reliable water.

Fall is a reel good time to go fishing!

Cooler temperatures and beautiful fall colors make autumn a great time to cast a line on America's public lands. It's the perfect time to slow down, enjoy the scenery and maybe even reel in the catch of a lifetime.

Grab your gear and find your next favorite fishing spot on your public lands.

[House Committee on Natural Resources @NatResources]

.@RepJeffCrank grew up in a pocket of the West where hunting, fishing and the great outdoors isn't a hobby but a way of life.

As a member of the House Committee on Natural Resources, he's championed legislation that safeguards thatlifestyle for generations to come.

Congress’s most productive freshman in HISTORY is delivering for Alaska.

ICYMI: Earlier this year, Vice Chairman @RobWittman led a field visit to @VIMS_News with committee member @RepJenKiggans.

Visits like these are essential to informing the Committee’s work in Washington and ensuring we continue to deliver for America’s coastal communities.

[House Committee on Natural Resources @NatResources]

.@RepJeffHurd is leading the charge to strengthen tribal sovereignty and tribally-led conservation efforts across Indian Country!

His bipartisan H.R. 7954 puts tribes in the lead, honoring the history, culture and livelihoods of tribal communities while expanding economic opportunities tied to conservation.

[House Committee on Natural Resources @NatResources]

A major win for ranchers, farmers and pet-owners, thanks to @RepBoebert!

The “Pet and Livestock Protection Act” provides a greater ability to resolve wolf conflicts while supporting our livestock, pets, and rural communities.

Thanks to @RepMikeLawler’s leadership, we’re supporting America’s iconic lobster fisheries and the hardworking fisherman who keep them strong.

ICYMI: @RepMikeLawler’s H.R. 9436 passed the House in September, taking another vital step towards restoring American seafood competitiveness through sound science.

ICYMI: @RepTroyDowning delivered another win for rural Montana!

@POTUS signed his H.R. 7250 into law, supporting critical rural water infrastructure in northeastern Montana.

A strong advocate for responsible land management and strengthening rural communities, @RepTroyDowning continues to deliver results!
