WHO ARE WE |
Sandycreek Conservancy is best known as a shooting club or an outdoor sporting club. We are also a social club. A lot of our members and associates come down to participate in the conversational activities. We also have been supporters of local and national charities, in the past, holding benefit shoots and dinners.
Most of all we are a conservancy.
The definition of a conservancy is "a body concerned with the preservation of nature, specific species, or natural resources". The purpose or purposes of Sandycreek Conservancy are:
A) To eliminate all forms of pollution along the banks and in the waters of Sandycreek Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, and its environs;
B) To conserve, maintain, protect, and restore (1) all soil, waters, and wildlife, either animal or vegetable; and (2) the natural resources of the United States of America, including particularly but not exclusively forests, woods, trees, and other vegetation, marshes, grass lands and prairies;
C) To promote the means and opportunities for the education of the public with the respect to such resources and the enjoyment and wholesale utilization thereof;
This is our mission.
We are also a proud supporter and host to Scout Troop #412 and invite ANY Scout troop to visit!
WHAT WE DO |
Throughout the grounds of the Conservancy we have planted many different types of trees. Near the Rifle and Pistol Range we have approximately sixteen (16) apple trees planted for long term wildlife benefit. Deer, mice, bears, turkeys, raccoons, rabbits, ruffed grouse, squirrels, and songbirds are just a few that love eating apples.
The club has an ongoing dense planting project for pine trees. Pine trees are planted for wildlife shelter. In the back field area of the club Norway Spruce trees are planted and we add additional trees every year. White Spruce trees are densely planted above the gas well at the entrance of the club. Tree planting is an excellent project for Scouts, members and their families, and other organizations that have an interest in helping wildlife. We encourage and need your participation!
We currently have four (4) wildlife seeding food plots on grounds. The club has plowed, tilled, fertilized, and planted areas with a combination of clover, brassica, and turnips. These plantings have quickly attracted deer who use these food plots on a daily basis. The club is trying to increase the deer herd population on club grounds and near by State Game Lands.
Across our grounds we also have many birdhouses.
These have been made and donated by our member Lane Grafton. Thank you Lane!!
