EVENTS


The Warren County Conservation Council (WCCC) is comprised of a group of sportsmen and women who belong to a varied degree of sporting and conservation clubs in our county.  We meet each month to discuss issues that both nurture and challenge our outdoor interests and natural resources, primarily fish and wildlife and their habitat.  The county council institution is merely one of several tiers in which sportsmen are represented in New York State.  Just as local clubs belong to our organization, we in turn, belong to the Adirondack Conservation Council as well as the New York Conservation Council and the Conservation Alliance of New York. 

Through the process of discussion we have made some accomplishments in our history.  In 2006 we met with the Town of Queensbury Recreation Department and were able to convince them to open their municipal car-top boat access on Glen Lake for ice fishing access (an other activities) during the winter. Most recently, through our discussions with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), we campaigned for the future privilege to have a year-round season on Glen Lake for rainbow trout. That became a reality in October of 2010.   Each year we participate in National Hunting and Fishing Day in hopes of educating and inspiring future sportsmen in our community.

We will continue to do our best to represent sportsmen at all levels.   We hope you will join us.

Next Meeting(s):

May 1, 2013  -The Wednesday, May 1 meeting will be held at the DEC Regional Office in Warrensburg.  The meeting will be at the regular time—7:00 PM.   Thanks to DEC for use of the facilities. 


Things to Know

Second Ammendment News

To the right are some of the links that are going around that have to do with the Second Amendment and laws that have been passed, or possibly could be passed. I encourage everyone to read the legislation passed on Tuesday, not an easy task. Keep up the fight!

Lake George Invasive Species•The Warren County Conservation Council has been very active in the battle against invasive species, especially in Lake George, while trying to preserve anglers rights. A special committee of council members has presented a proposal to the Lake George Park Commission and the Warren County Board of Supervisors that suggests Computer Based Training (CPT) and testing for transient boaters (including anglers) who use Lake George public boat launches as well as those throughout the state. Click here to read a copy of the proposal drafted by Jack Currie. Please note: the Council is not against boat washing stations and inspections but we would like to keep the launches open to anglers at early and later hours in the day.
