State Senator Patty Ritchie recently sat down with members of the New York Sportsmen’s Advisory Council at their annual breakfast in Albany.

Formed in 2012, the New York Sportsmen’s Advisory Council is an advocate for New York’s sporting community and activities such as hunting, angling, recreational shooting and trapping. 

At the breakfast event, Senator Ritchie was able to learn more about the council’s goals for 2019 and beyond, as well as discuss ways to encourage youth participation in outdoor recreational activities and more.
