FULL TEXT:

ALBANY — New York’s clear air program is strapped for cash.

A Department of Conservation program that collects fees and issues permits to the state’s major air polluters is seeing its revenue decline quicker than its expenses, leading to annual deficits that topped $70 million in 2017, according to an audit conducted by Controller Thomas DiNapoli.

You can find info on trail conditions from our founding partner @catskillcenter... . . . #Repost @catskillcenter with @get_repost ・・・ May 7 Update — Spring has arrived in the Catskills and all but a few patches of snow and ice at the very highest elevations are left. By this weekend, we expect those to melted for the most part. With the melting snow and recent rains though, trails in the Catskills are wet and muddy in places. . . . Trail Status: All marked and officially designated hiking trails in the Catskill Park are currently open to the public. All trailheads are open, and gates are open for interior parking areas. . . . Trail Conditions: Trails are snow-free excepted for very limited patches at the highest elevations. Trails will be generally wet and muddy this week. Follow good hiking practices during the spring mud season by walking down the middle of the trail, even when muddy, to avoid widening trails and creating more erosion. . . . Seasonal Roads and Gates: Seasonal roads have opened for the season. Those roads include: . . . Platte Clove Road Roaring Kill Road Russell Brook Road Mary Smith Road Ploutz Road The Gates at Alder Lake (Balsam Lake Wild Forest) and at Onteora Lake (Bluestone Wild Forest) have been opened for the season. . . . . #nynjtc #nysdec #optoutside #getoutmor #newyorkexplored #scenicnewyork #scenicny #hikeny #upstatenewyork #upstateny #trailtotap #unitedoutside #ispyny #neverstopexploring #exploremore #findyouradventure #feedyouradventure #outdoornyc #getinvolved #getoutside #escapebrooklyn #andnorth #spring #catskills #seasons #fourseasons #seasonalliving #outdoorfest2018 (at Catskill Park)

Constitution Pipeline has petitioned FERC to declare NY-DEC waived rights to act on its water quality certification application. It’s one compelling story.

After we had visited the Lucky 13 farm last Saturday, the person who was working at the front table for Onondaga Farm Fest, suggested we drive nearby to take a look at Labrador Hollow Unique Area which was about a mile and half away. She said it's unique in that it is situated at the bottom of a valley and receives less sunlight than everywhere else in NY state. She explained that because of the less sunlight, the vegetation was unique to just that area. It was nearby so we figured to make a quick visit and see the area. We drove to the bottom of this valley and the scenery all around us was beautiful. There was a boardwalk near the parking lot, but we didn't walk that far on it, because we only wanted to make a quick visit. My oldest daughter loved the place so much that she wanted to make a return trip in the near future. She actually asked to do it for her birthday, but her birthday is in the middle of winter so we'll have to plan a trip for a different day. #ny #onondaga #cortland #tully #nysdec #cny #statepark #valley (at Labrador Hollow Unique Area)
