Projects of the Federation
Education
Realizing the importance of educating our young people as well as adults,
member clubs are involved with DEC
Hunter Safety Programs, Scouting, 4-H activities, and the Federation sponsors a Free Handgun Safety Course in conjunction with the Ulster County Sheriff's
Office Pistol Permit Unit.
(Notes regarding Pistol Licenses and amendments in Ulster County:
As of Feb. 8, 2007, it is Kropf's understanding that Judge Bruhn and Judge Work are catching up on the backlog of amendments (such as adding a pistol to an existing license). It is also Kropf's understanding that Pistol License applications have been proceeding with only minor delays, but amendments alone were being backlogged since Judge Kavanagh was promoted to the Appellate court. Thankfully, with the help of Sheriff Van Blarcum, Chief Civil Officer Donald Ryan, and others, the amendment backlog is now being processed.
As reported by by New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Jul 31, 2007 10:43 AM:
Sheriff Paul J. Van Blarcum is pleased to announce that Supreme Court Judge Christopher E. Cahill has authorized the Ulster County Sheriff's Office to process pistol license amendments at the Pistol License Division. This will eliminate the back log of amendments waiting approval that was created by the elevation of Hon. E. Michael Kavanagh to the NYS Appellate Court and the passing of Supreme Court Judge Vincent Bradley.On behalf of the Federation and law abiding pistol owners in Ulster County, Kropf publicly thanks Judge Chris Cahill for this action which effectively returns the amendment process to what it was before Judge Kavanagh was promoted. Pistol Permit applications will still go through the full screening process which will still take months, but the amendment process of adding, moving, or removing individual pistols from existing pistol permits is again a single trip process.
Sheriff Van Blarcum and his staff look forward to serving the gun owners of Ulster County.
Please email Kropf with any updates.)
Wildlife Propagation
A pheasant raising program has been in place for over 30 years. The pheasants
are released on public lands, approved in advance by the NYS DEC, for habitat
and for open public hunting. The Federation also stocks thousands of trout
and walleye each spring and fall in many of the streams throughout Ulster
County. In addition, the Federation is involved with waterfowl and hare
release programs.
Legislation
The Federation works closely with our government representatives at the local,
state and national levels to emphasize sportments interests. Pertinent bills
are monitored throughout the legislative process in cooperation with the
NRA, the NYS Rifle & Pistol Association, the
NYS Trappers
Association, the NYS Conservation Council, the Conservation Alliance of NY
and the
US Sportsmen's Alliance.
Youth Activities
The Federation supports the Fish & Wildlife Coalition for Youth, and the
Future Fisherman
Foundation. Our Federation was one of the first in the state
to initiate the Lend-A-Pole Program. Many libraries throughout Ulster County
participate in this program. Every spring we hold our annual
Children's Fishing Contest at Lippman Park in Wawarsing.
Every year the member clubs send over 50 Ulster County youths to
NYS DEC
Environmental Education Summer Camps. Money raised by the Federation's
member clubs is also awarded through youth grants.
Our booth at the 2005 Kingston Lions Expo.
