RGS and dozens of conservation organizations and supporters have been working to pass landmark legislation known as RAWA that would dedicate almost $1.4B annually for state and Tribal wildlife agencies to improve habitat for at-risk wildlife, including ruffed grouse and American woodcock.
RAWA has been a top priority of the conservation community for decades because it would create a dedicated funding source for improving habitat for at-risk game and non-game wildlife.
With bipartisan support, RAWA was passed by the full House and the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee in 2022. This year, the House and Senate need to pass it and finally get it across the finish line.
