Injunction Planned To Save The Pheasant Program

      On behalf of the sportsmen/women, 4-H and Cooperator Chick program, youth hunting, traditional recreation, economic stability for hunting related jobs, the Rensselaer County Conservation Alliance Inc. is reportedly in the process of ascertaining an INJUNCTION against the N.Y.S. Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) to cease the proposed plan to close the Reynolds Game Farm. Closing the game farm would wipe out any chance to develop a pheasant program in N.Y.S.
      Individuals, clubs sponsors can financially support this effort by contacting us immediately
with your commitment . An accounting of all funds will be kept thru the Rensselaer County Alliance Inc. and used for the legal defense and professional team support.  Any monies derived from this effort left over will be returned on a cost/ ratio basis.
      Not only is the Pheasant Program in danger, but this is a test of what the stakeholders of the Conservation Fund will pursue and what the future of fishing , hunting and trapping means to New York Staters.
