Our Natural Resources are Under Attack!

Some people boast that the economy is healthy due to the our current GOP administration. But after doing some research on the subject I found out the agriculture, forestry, fishing, hunting industry has plummeted as indicated by these employment figures from the chart found below from the US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics found at http://www.bls.gov/data/home.htm. Not only that but the Farm and Ranch Land Presevervation in under attack by the Federal Government, please see http://www.slowfoodusa.org/change/03-17-06_take_action.html. These resources need to be protected for providing food to this nation!

We at Nipmuc Rod and Gun have also experienced a decline in activities, events, participation and membership. We can't allow ourselves to become lax in the pursuit of protecting what all of us members have in common, the love of nature. Whether it is fishing, archery, bird watching, shooting, hunting, hiking, whatever. Please help protect our natural resources now for the future!
