The Federation has a very active stocking program and stocks both fish and birds on public waters and lands. The stocking program uses Federation funds plus other available funds and providers to stock thousands of fish and birds each year in Orange County.

     Every Spring the Federation coordinates fish stocking programs for the rivers, streams and lakes in Orange County that are accessible to the public using fish purchased by the Federation, Orange County and NY State. (We do not announce the specific stocking dates for obvious reasons.

STOCKING OF PHEASANT AND QUAIL IN 2005

The DEC and OCFSC stock birds in various public hunting areas in Orange County. Areas of Sterling Forest and the Stewart Forest are both stocked.

In 2005, the Federation continued it bird stocking program with releases of both Pheasant and Quail
in October and November in both Stewart and Sterling Forest.
The Federation stocked nearly 1,500 birds in 2005
Stewart Co-op areas 19, 20, 21, 27, 48, 50, 51, 63, 72 and 73 were stocked
Sterling Forest in the Indian Hill/Orange Turnpike area.

The property that we normally stock in Blooming Grove off of Tudhill Road off of Rt 94 was sold in 2003 and the property is now posted so we are unable to stock it.

Brownie and bucket DEC Fish Stocking Truck
     It takes a lot of hard work to do all of the stocking and we want to thank all of those who meet the trucks, pick up the birds and do all of the other things that need to be done to have such a successful program.
