农业部2100万美元扩私人土地公共猎渔准入：德州获300万美元，两轮合计7000万美元
美国农业部（USDA）下属自然资源保护局（Natural Resources Conservation Service，NRCS）11月3日宣布，农业部将通过自愿公共准入与栖息地激励计划（Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program，VPA-HIP）投资2,100万美元，新增10个项目，扩大公众进入私人土地从事狩猎、垂钓及其他与野生动物相关休闲活动的机会，同时惠及农场主、牧场主与私人土地所有者。
第二轮遴选的项目分布在亚利桑那州、堪萨斯州、俄克拉荷马州、南卡罗来纳州、南达科他州、田纳西州、德克萨斯州、华盛顿州与怀俄明州等地，并包括俄克拉荷马州的 Choctaw 部落项目：该部落将建立并扩大一项部落自愿公共准入计划，以激励私人土地所有者开放其位于俄克拉荷马州东南部部落土地上的土地，供公众狩猎、垂钓与休闲。堪萨斯州将扩充其现有的步入式狩猎准入（WIHA）与步入式垂钓准入（WIFA）计划。
德克萨斯州获资助300万美元，实施方为德州公园与野生动物厅（Texas Parks and Wildlife Department，TPWD），金额处于本轮单项资助的最高档（各项目介于83.3万美元至300万美元之间，期限最长三年）。TPWD 计划借此增加公共狩猎区域与开放天数，扩大现有租赁公共准入计划的面积与经州系统抽签的私人土地狩猎许可数量，维护现有租赁河流准入点，并新建供垂钓、划桨与观赏野生动物的河流准入点。
其他州的单项金额包括：华盛顿州鱼类与野生动物厅获265.5万美元，南卡罗来纳州自然资源厅获1,074,400美元，南达科他州狩猎、渔业与公园厅获300万美元，计划通过多年准入协议将15万英亩私人土地纳入公共狩猎准入计划。
VPA-HIP 通过 NRCS 协助州与部落政府，鼓励私人土地所有者向公众开放土地。NRCS 表示，《Working Families Tax Cuts Act》恢复了 VPA-HIP 的拨款，使这一面向州与部落政府的竞争性拨款计划得以重启；今年7月宣布的第一轮已向19个项目拨款4,900万美元，两轮合计投资7,000万美元、覆盖29个项目。

USDA Invests $21 Million to Expand Public Hunting and Fishing Access on Private Lands: Texas Receives $3 Million, Two Rounds Total $70 Million
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced on November 3 that USDA is investing $21 million in an additional 10 projects to increase public access to private lands for hunting, fishing and other wildlife-dependent recreation, while benefiting farmers, ranchers and private landowners, through the Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP).
The second round of award selections includes projects in Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming. In Oklahoma, the Choctaw Nation will establish and expand a new Tribal voluntary public access program that incentivizes private landowners to provide public access for hunting, fishing and other wildlife-dependent recreation across Tribal lands in southeastern Oklahoma. Kansas will expand its existing Walk-In Hunting Access (WIHA) and Walk-In Fishing Access (WIFA) programs.
Texas receives $3 million, the top single-project amount in this round, with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) as the implementing agency. Projects in this round receive between $833,000 and $3 million and may run for up to three years. TPWD plans to expand the number of public hunting areas and days, increase the acreage of its current leased public access program and the number of private-land drawn-hunt permits available through the state-run system, maintain existing leased river access sites, and establish new leased river access sites for fishing, paddling and wildlife viewing.
Other state awards include $2.655 million for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, $1,074,400 for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, and $3 million for the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks, which proposes to enroll 150,000 acres of private land into public hunting access programs through multi-year agreements.
Through VPA-HIP, NRCS helps state and Tribal governments encourage private landowners to allow public access to their land. NRCS says the Working Families Tax Cuts Act restored funding for VPA-HIP, enabling the competitive grant program for state and Tribal governments. NRCS awarded $49 million to 19 projects in the first round announced in July 2026; between the two rounds, NRCS has invested a total of $70 million in 29 projects.
