What does NYSCC stand for?

I conducted an unsolicited, unscientific survey of 100 outdoorsmen and women. The two questions asked were: “What does NYSCC stand for?” and “What do they do?”

I found it disconcerting that 89 percent DID NOT know it was the New York State Conservation Council. And of the 11 that knew what it stood for, all said in one way or another that they help make the fish and game laws. Not 100 percent true, but close enough.

From their website (www.nyscc.com) their mission is to: Aid in the formulation and establishment of sound policies and practices dedicated to conserve, protect, restore and perpetuate forest, wildlife and scenic and recreational areas with especial regard to the state of New York, to the general end that the present and succeeding generations may continue to enjoy and to use these great natural resources.

The New York State Conservation Council, Inc. completes its mission through the coordination and stimulation of individuals and organizations interested in conservation in the State of New York and to interest and educate the people of the state with respect to conservation. Its volunteer membership actively work to assure the enforcement of conservation laws and educational endeavors that safeguard our resources for generations to come. The leadership of the group is comprised of volunteers.
