Who we are | What we do | What we offer

Who we are:

   An all volunteer charitable, non-profit organization that is dedicated to the promotion of fish and wildlife conservation, education of outdoor participants, and related outdoor recreation. This promotion is accomplished in several ways. The Erie County Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs conducts or sponsors a variety of educational opportunities for young and old. These opportunities include sponsorship of young people to conservation camps, assistance scholarships for qualified students pursuing conservation-related education, conservation instructor workshops, sponsorship of outdoors woman program candidates, and others. We also sponsor several community service programs that include Hunters Helping the Hungry, Family Fishing Clinics, and a National Hunting & Fishing Day hands-on event for youth.
