The Bergen County Chapter is part of a nationwide organization of Sportsmen’s Clubs which advocate for local, county and state-wide action in conservation, hunting and fishing. The Federation works proactively with legislators, Fish, Game & Wildlife, and the Department of Environmental Protection to enhance sporting opportunities and resources. The Bergen County Chapter is one of the larger and most active chapters, and member clubs have been involved in or directly responsible for expanded access to fishing and hunting, saving fish habitats, creating the Hudson River Walkway, and other outdoor efforts.
Since the Club’s members are devoted to the outdoors and maintaining a healthy environment in which to hunt, trap and fish, the intent of this scholarship is to recognize Ramapo College students who share a commitment to the environment. Students who are interested in careers in wildlife conservation, wild game management, marine biology, forestry, fisheries management, or a similar field would be the kind of student for whom this award is intended.
