What You Can Do 



There are many steps the concerned citizen can take to assure the 

 future of America's wildlife. 



Those who own land, whether suburban lot, woodlot, farm or ranch, 

 can make improvements that will attract and hold wildlife, often at 

 minimum expense. Your state wildlife agency has publications outlining 

 such improvements. Many state agencies provide on-the-ground techni- 

 cal assistance and inexpensive wildlife food and cover planting stock 

 within the limitations of budget and manpower. Additional information 

 and assistance are available from the Extension Service, U.S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, at your state university. 



Those who do not own land directly are shareholders in the largest 

 landholdings in the United States. These are the 725 million acres of 

 national forests, parks, wildlife refuges, public domain, and other lands 

 held in trust for the American public by the Federal Government. Even 

 on the national wildlife refuges, program funding has not kept pace with 

 demand. As a citizen shareholder yojj can insist Jhat Congress and the 

 Administration provide adequate funds to maintain balanced uses of 

 resources and wildlife populations on all public lands.
