New hunting and fishing rules for specific wildlife refuges and hatcheries

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is updating the rules for 111 specific locations within the National Wildlife Refuge System and the National Fish Hatchery System. This includes 107 refuge units and 4 hatchery units.

Why it matters: This is a mix of expanding public access to certain lands and performing routine administrative cleanup to make the rulebooks less confusing.

Who it affects

• hunters and sport fishers who use National Wildlife Refuges or National Fish Hatcheries (NFH)
