Our mission statement is to improve pheasant populations via habitat restoration projects in the six county area surrounding Rochester, NY.

The Chapter just concluded our 2011 Youth Hunt Oct 8th, at Honeoye Creek WMU. Over 24 youth participated in this years event. A great time was had by all and the weather was great. Thanks to all of the volunteers who helped make this event a yearly success.
