5th District Candidate for Congress Visits NWCSC
Candidate for Congress in the 5th District of CT, Justin Bernier addressed NWCSC delegates at their June 23rd meeting. Justin is a veteran of Afganistan, has been educated as an economics major, worked in Governor Rell’s Cabinet , and in Congress for five years for Congressman Rob Simmons. He is a strong supporter of second amendment rights and our constitutional liberties. He has promised to support both when he is elected. During our far-ranging discussion, it became obvious that we were hearing from a candidate with principles and that the candidacy of Justin Bernier is worthy of the support of all sportsmen and firearms owners.

Housatonic WMA Habitat Project Completed!
The Wildlife Division of CT DEP has completed a habitat management project on a portion of the Housatonic River WMA. This project was sponsored by the NWCSC with an initial $3,000- grant. The project area is about 7 miles south of Cornwall Center on the west side of Rt #7. We have reclaimed about 16 acres of old field land, renewing habitat to benefit small game and songbirds. This project was completed in early 2008 and subsequent visits to the site throughout the summer demonstrated improvements in plant species diversity and wildlife use. Visitors are welcome to stop by and view the work.
