Migratory Bird Conservation Act
- Migratory Bird Conservation Act
-
The Migratory Bird Conservation Act of February 18, 1929, (also known as the “Norbeck-Anderson Act”) created the United States Migratory Bird Conservation Commission (MBCC) to consider and approve any areas of land and/or water recommended by the Secretary of the Interior for purchase or rental by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and to fix the price or prices at which such areas may be purchased or rented.
In addition to approving purchase and rental prices, the Commission considered the establishment of new waterfowl refuges. While perhaps unimportant given the economic crisis of the times, it was an important step in and for the Conservation movement
