NY Environmental Conservation Snapshot
New York State has a lot more green space than you might think and the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) exists to manage and protect it. DEC issues permits and licenses for hunting, fishing, and trapping; develops and enforces environmental regulations; conducts environmental impact assessments; and runs campgrounds and other outdoor recreation facilities. The DEC, which was formed in 1970, also publishes the "Conservationist" outdoor magazine, provides home owners with environmental information, and runs five environmental education centers. New York public land is home to oil and natural gas deposits as well as timber stands; DEC administers the leases to businesses.
