Additional comments on the resolution:

Ever since its founding back in the early 30s, the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen & Conservationists (formerly Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs) has encompassed individuals and clubs/organizations interested in stewarding natural resources in the Commonwealth of PA and protecting our hunting, trapping, fishing and shooting heritage based on sound conservation principles. We abide by the tenets of the Conservation Pledge - reciting it at the beginning of each board meeting.

Though we do not always agree with every step taken, we work collaboratively with resource agencies (PGC, PFBC, DCNR, etc.) to provide a conduit for information to flow and for our grassroots membership to be heard. At the forefront of our efforts, we continue to maintain a presence in Harrisburg to make our voices as Sportsmen and conservationists heard. Our Director of Government Affairs, Mike Kriner, provides outreach and lobbying efforts in legislative and resource agency settings.

Over the years, we have impacted various decisions and activities ranging from water quality issues to guarding our 2nd Amendment freedoms.

PFSC's Mission:

To protect and conserve Pennsylvania’s Natural Resources, Outdoor Heritage and 2nd Amendment Rights.
