Wildlife Restoration Fund Interest Availability Extended Through 2033 Under New Bill

This legislation, specifically Section 2 of the Wetlands Conservation and Access Improvement Act of 2025, focuses on a key financial mechanism for conservation. It extends the timeframe during which interest earned on the Federal aid to wildlife restoration fund can be used. Under this provision, these interest earnings will remain available for allocation through the year 2033.

Keeping the Conservation Cash Flowing

Think of the Federal aid to wildlife restoration fund like a savings account dedicated to helping wildlife. This bill doesn't change how much money goes into the main account, but it addresses the interest that account earns. Section 2 ensures that the interest generated by the fund's investments can continue to be accessed and spent on wildlife restoration projects for several more years, specifically until 2033. While this might seem like an administrative detail, it ensures a continued stream of funding derived from interest remains available for conservation efforts supported by this specific fund, maintaining a financial tool used for wildlife management and habitat projects.
