About - Garden State Chapter of Safari Club International

Safari Club International, a world leader in conservation and advocacy for hunter’s rights, had a presence in all but 5 states in the country. New Jersey was one of those states.

In 2024, a group of dedicated hunters formed a board and applied for a charter. The Garden State Chapter was founded in the fall of that year. Under the leadership and direction of the inaugural board, the Garden State Chapter of Safari Club International was born.

The main objectives of the Garden State Chapter are to support hunter’s rights, and to show the local community how important hunters are to land conservation and the preservation of wildlife.

The goals of the chapter are:

To promote education of our youth and realize they are the future of hunting.
To assist in conservation projects throughout the state to promote the betterment of habitat and wildlife health.
To advocate for hunters’ rights and to try to facilitate the change of outdated laws and regulations.
To strive to maintain a zero net loss of public land access so hunters can enjoy the public areas of New Jersey
