Voluntary Public Access and Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program Act of 2005
Summary
This bill would create a federal grant program to help state and tribal governments encourage private landowners to open their property for public recreational use, such as hunting and fishing. Under this voluntary program, farmers, ranchers, and forest owners could receive financial incentives to provide public access while maintaining and improving wildlife habitats on their land. For everyday citizens, this measure aims to expand outdoor recreational opportunities on private lands that are otherwise restricted, while ensuring that participating landowners do not lose certain federal farm program benefits.
