DEC Region 9 Offices
Region 9 is located in Western New York and serves Erie, Niagara, Wyoming, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Allegany counties. Region 9's main office is located in the City of Buffalo, and its three sub-offices are located in Allegany, Belmont and Falconer.
DEC staff in Region have two major areas of responsibility: natural resources management and environmental quality protection. As part of natural resource management, staff oversee state fish and wildlife resources, as well as state lands and forests that are located in the region. Equally important are efforts to protect and improve the quality of the environment.
