Remington and TRCP Announce Partnership
The Remington Outdoor Company and the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership are launching an innovative new partnership that will highlight and strengthen the connection hunters and shooters have to America’s outdoor resources and the role they play in preserving our sporting heritage.
“The Remington Outdoor Company exemplifies our nation’s outdoor lifestyle and is engaged like no other company in actively upholding sportsmen’s ability to hunt and shoot,” said TRCP President and CEO Whit Fosburgh. “We at the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership are thrilled to be forging a partnership with Remington that will promote hunting access, a conservation ethic and an overall sporting lifestyle to sportsmen and –women.”
The cornerstone of the Remington-TRCP partnership is on expanding hunting access for sportsmen. Inability to access land, both public and privately owned, is the primary reason sportsmen stop pursuing traditions they enjoy. The new partnership also focuses on strengthening and diversifying sportsmen’s awareness of issues affecting wildlife habitat conservation, as well as access.
“TRCP and the Remington Outdoor Company recognize our significant obligation to responsibly manage our natural resources. Together, we stand at the vanguard, defending our outdoor, uniquely American lifestyle,” said Remington CEO George Kollitides. “Like the TRCP, preserving America’s distinctive hunting grounds and fishing holes for future generations is a top priority – no, an obligation – for Remington. As the foremost manufacturer of firearms and ammunition, we are a staunch supporter of and partner with the TRCP.”
Remington is one of the largest and oldest firearms and ammunition manufacturers in the world. The Remington Outdoor Company includes such iconic brands as Remington, Marlin, Barnes Bullets and Mountain Khakis.
“Remington’s lineage precedes even that of Theodore Roosevelt,” Fosburgh stated, “and, like Roosevelt, it today symbolizes America’s connection to the land and our outdoor legacy. The Remington-TRCP partnership will capitalize on that legacy, helping to ensure that future generations of sportsmen have quality places to pursue our passions.”
In 1912 Theodore Roosevelt said, “There can be no greater issue than that of conservation in this country.” While in the political arena, he succeeded in making conservation a top tier national issue.
T.R. had the foresight to address these issues still so significant to sportsmen today, understanding that if we want to ensure critical habitat, special hunting grounds and secret fishing holes will be around for future generations, we must plan carefully today.
The TRCP is working to guarantee all Americans a quality place to hunt and fish.
