On the morning of April 17th, Matt and Jeff with Tucson MDF attended the Spring SACPA meeting (Southern Arizona Cattlemen’s Protective Association).
We spent the day listening, learning, and gaining a better understanding of the real challenges our Southern Arizona ranchers are facing. These conversations matter. As conservationists, staying informed and engaged is part of the responsibility we carry.
We’re also asking hunters to educate themselves on the growing threat of the screw worm. An aggressive, flesh-eating parasite that can infect and kill wildlife, including our deer. Awareness and early action are critical in protecting our herds.
Strong wildlife and strong ranching communities go hand in hand, and it starts with awareness.
