PURPOSE
The main purpose of the Society is conservation. Not only of trees, fish and game, but conservation of man's heritage to have open land on which to roam, fish, hunt, camp or just relax. In this respect the Society agrees with the law protecting the Adirondack Mountains from the wrath of the land developers, loggers and resort operators. The Society has been opposed to posting of private lands. In its place we have tried to promote better sportsmen - landowner understanding, which would make posting unnecessary. The Society opposes oppressive gun laws and registration. In its place we support strong laws which would punish, severely, the person who uses a gun in a commission of a crime.

CLUB HISTORY

In the year 1896, a group of foresighted men - many of whom were or were destined to be influential in Erie County , saw the need for an organized Conservation movement to help preserve and better the natural environment of Erie County.
