Overview

Mission

Propagation, planting, preservation, and protection of wild game, birds and fish and promotion of social activities among members.

What it reported doing in 2024

We maintain lakes and grounds for members' enjoyment, fishing, swimming and boating opportunities. We maintain rifle, target archery, and trap ranges for our members and for educational purposes during hunter training sessions. For our efforts in the field of conservation, the New York state conservation council has twice named us the outstanding conservation club in nys. The association also maintains a large display of native and ornamental pheasants and water fowl, peafowl, partridge, and quail for the enjoyment of our members and for educational purposes. Hunter training and bow hunter education courses are hosted. We host many boy and girl scout packs as they can earn their merit badges.
