 Harrisburg – The Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs (PFSC) will hold their Fall Convention and host the “Pennsylvania Outdoors in Focus: Marcellus Shale Development and Penn’s Woods” Forum September 16-18, 2011 at the Harrisburg Radisson Hotel, 1150 Camp Hill By Pass, Camp Hill, PA.

In partnership with the Keystone Energy Forum, the outdoors forum on the Marcellus Shale development in Penn’s Woods and how it affects our outdoor activities will take place Saturday, September 17th, 2011 at the Harrisburg Radisson Hotel.  The forum gets underway at 9am and wraps up around 3pm.

Featured panel discussions will include:

  • Land Activity – Where is activity taking place and where will it be taking place?
  • Interaction with Marcellus Shale Development – Communicating and working with our regulatory and industry partners as development and growth continues.
  • Impacts on Penn’s Woods – How will drilling affect your outdoor activities?

There will also be a working luncheon where discussions will continue with Natural Resources Consultant James Mosher and  former DCNR Deputy Secretary Jim Grace, who’s now the Maurice K. Goddard Chair in Forestry and Environmental Resource Conservation at Penn State, as guest speakers.

The forum and luncheon are free and open to the public, but preregistration is required.

The mission of Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs, Inc. is to provide a statewide, united voice for the concerns of all sportsmen and conservationists; to insure that their rights and interests are protected; and to protect and enhance the environment and our natural resources.

The collective voice of the PFSC is one our state lawmakers hear again and again as PFSC continuously works to protect  and promote our outdoor heritage, conservation and Second Amendment rights for all Pennsylvanians and future generations.

 The Federation was instrumental in the passage of the Mentored Youth Hunting legislation, passage of legislation allowing the transfer of an antlerless license to a Mentored Youth Hunter, and worked closely with the NRA and other sportsmen’s and conservation organizations to help get the Castle Doctrine legislation passed and signed into law.  The PFSC lead the charge to protect your Game Lands, lower mercury emissions that negatively affect our fish and wildlife, and protect and ensure the public’s rights to navigable waterways.  PFSC is monitoring Chronic Wasting Disease, opposes a merger of our wildlife and fish agencies,  especially one under DCNR, and supports Growing Greener Initiatives and adequate and alternative funding for our resource agencies.

The Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs is constantly monitoring legislation in the Pennsylvania and US Legislatures, tracking bills that would impact our hunting, angling, and trapping heritage, natural and renewable resources, and issues affecting our 2nd Amendment Rights.  PFSC maintains a page on their web site that monitors progress of PA’s legislative bills:  http://www.pfsc.org/LegislativeCenter/tabid/140/Default.aspx

As an advocate for sportsmen and sportswomen, the PFSC has been a catalyst for bringing sportsmen and conservation organizations to the table with our state wildlife, fish and conservation agencies and the legislature, making sure our voices are heard.  The Federation has almost 80 years of experience fighting for and protecting your outdoor heritage and 2nd Amendment rights and privileges.
