The Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation welcomed Secretarial Order 3455, Making America's National Wildlife Refuges Great Again, and the Rooted in Purpose report, thanking Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Brian Nesvik. CSF described the steps as restoring the National Wildlife Refuge System to wildlife and habitat conservation and to the founding purposes of each refuge, often including migratory birds and waterfowl. Headquarters and regional staffing grew in recent decades while individual refuges lost capacity for habitat and biological work. The order directs stronger field stewardship, public access consistent with refuge purposes, and active habitat management, and the report recommends shifting headquarters and regional posts to refuge operations, adding regional hunting and fishing coordinators and a national sportsman's access coordinator, and aligning with state hunting and fishing rules where appropriate. The Fish and Wildlife Service must submit an implementation plan within 90 days.
