Non-Partisan Conservation Agenda in Illinois and Missouri Talk
Illinois sportsmen gather in Edwardsville to hear Missouri conservation chief E Sidney Stephens discuss removing politics from conservation. The Illinois Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs seeks a non partisan commission to oversee the state's Department of Conservation and educate voters on the plan. The meeting aims to launch a campaign to depoliticize conservation in Illinois. The piece notes past funding fights over a Forest Survey and mentions veteran anglers recounting timber needs for wildlife and flood control. A fishing anecdote ends with a ten inch yellowbelly catfish joining bass in Lake Acksonville.
