Sportsman's Conservation Trust

 

 

      In my work, I have seen hundreds of thousands of acres of forest land get bought, sold, harvested and seen many good opportunities for land purchases come and go without the required capital to make a purchase. I have also seen many of these properties fall prey to "rape and run" timber harvesting practices by unscrupulous sawmill owners and people out to make a quick buck in the land and timber business.
      By adding value instead of exploiting land, I feel it is possible to be good stewards and make money at the same time. As an avid sportsman, I have been hunting in Pennsylvania for over thirty years. As with many other middle-aged hunters, I have become increasingly dissatisfied with the quality of hunting in this state. As I talk to many hunters and landowners I realize the increasing demand for quality hunting experiences and good land stewardship. My dream is to create a land trust that will preserve wild lands, preserve our hunting heritage and provide wildlife and timber commodities for future generations.
      The Sportsman's Conservation Trust is a conservation effort that will purchase quality hunting tracts to be managed for quality hunting and sustainable timber production. Tax deductible contributions will preserve places to hunt on land that is intensively and professionally managed to provide quality hunting and recreational experiences for contributors.
