Two decades "In The Arena." Reflecting on TRCP's 20th year of securing durable conservation solutions for hunters and Anglers. This report highlights our work on behalf of healthy habitat, clean water, access, and the outdoor recreation economy in 2022. We saw some of our major long-term efforts come to fruition in full and permanent funding of the Land and Water Conservation Fund and investments in landscape-scale conservation, shovel-ready habitat improvements, and projects to address the growing deferred maintenance backlog on our public lands. This report goes into more detail about these and other accomplishments.

This report highlights our work on behalf of healthy habitat, clean water, access, and the outdoor recreation economy in 2021. Though the country was still grappling with unprecedented challenges, lawmakers found that fish, wildlife, and the outdoors could provide a lot of common ground for smart policymaking. We saw some of our major long-term efforts come to fruition in passage of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, 2.1 million acres of National Wildlife Refuge Lands were opened to hunting and fishing, and we saw new federal commitments to help curb the spread of chronic wasting disease and invest in migration corridor conservation.

Today, Washington is known more for acrimony and partisanship over policy than for achievement. Yet amidst all this noise and dysfunction, conservation—and the TRCP—had an amazing year in 2019.

This report highlights our work on behalf of healthy habitat, clean water, sportsmen’s access, and the outdoor recreation economy in 2018. As partisanship raged on, political pressures did not sway us from criticizing bad conservation policies or giving the administration credit where it was due. We also saw some of our major efforts to convene and lead the hunting and fishing community over the past five years come to fruition in a new Farm Bill, passage of the Modern Fish Act, and permanent reauthorization for the Land and Water Conservation Fund. But we’re not resting on our laurels. Legislative wins mean nothing if programs are underfunded or if conservation agencies fail to implement policies in time to have an impact.

This Annual Report is a comprehensive update on progress towards our goals in 2017 and our vision for continuing to pursue legacy-setting conservation policy solutions. Learn more about our most recent efforts to create a crescendo of support for conservation of the places where silence unlocks the possibilities in the natural world around us.

One truism in Washington is that not much in the way of policy happens in an election year, and last year was no exception. Yet, 2016 was far from quiet for the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, as we’ve outlined in our newest Annual Report. Primarily, we focused on building the strength of the sportsman’s voice in Washington and laying the foundation for campaigns to come.

For the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, 2015 was about accomplishment—achieving real results that will directly benefit fish and wildlife habitat and Americans’ access to those lands and waters.

We were busy uniting and amplifying the voices of American sportsmen in 2014. Read about our work in 2014, all possible with the help of America's hunters and anglers.
