For the Birds Radio Program: Lead in Human History
Original Air Date: June 30, 2026
Within days of the start taking office in his first administration, Donald Trump rescinded an Obama administration rule outlawing lead ammo and tackle on all national wildlife refuges. The Biden administration created a new rule outlawing the use of lead by hunters and anglers in just 8 national wildlife refuges, but now the Trump administration is reversing that. This week Laura discusses the issue in depth, starting today with how lead has been used in human history.
