April

2022 Newsletter

This edition shows signs of Spring despite the weather you may be seeing out your window today. Our volunteers have been busy maintaining wood duck boxes on public lands and Peter has restoration advice for those of you looking to enhance your property for waterfowl.

Sporting Clays season is nearly upon us as well, so don't miss out on your chance to get tickets for the perfect sporting clays gun, the CZ Sporter Standard Grade, that our Valley chapter is raffling off at their shoot in May and check out the rest of our class A raffles here.


I hope you enjoy our April edition...
