Conservationist Magazine Brings the Outdoors to Your Door
Each issue of the Conservationist has exciting and informative features of interest to outdoor enthusiasts, young and old alike-special pullouts, book reviews and articles on everything from air quality to land preservation and, of course, outdoor recreation. Well known for stunning photography that offers intimate views of New York's wildlife and natural wonders, the magazine NEVER includes any advertising either.
The following are a couple of examples of the kinds of articles you and your family will find in the October issue of the Conservationist. Each illustrates a long tradition of environmental stewardship-within our state and throughout our country.
Environmental Law Enforcement
The DLE has grown to a force of
more than 300 uniformed
Environmental Conservation
Officers (ECOs) and plainclothes
investigators
Few people are aware of the great tradition of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's Division of Law Enforcement (DLE). The oldest law enforcement organization in New York State began with a contingent of only eight men who were appointed as game protectors in 1880. Since then, the DLE has grown to a force of more than 300 uniformed environmental conservation officers (ECOs) and plainclothes investigators.
Adhering to the standards established by their predecessors, today's ECOs are dedicated to the DLE's mission of protecting New York's natural resources and environment. Read all about this tradition in "Standing Watch - 125 Years of Conservation Law Enforcement" in the current Conservationist.
Audubon Society Centennial
Another like-minded organization highlighted in October's Conservationist is the National Audubon Society, celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. In 1905 a group of dedicated conservationists, including William Dutcher, George Bird Grinnell and Frank Chapman, charted a course that resulted in the achievement of conservation milestones decade after decade.
"Rich History - Celebrating National Audubon Society's Centennial" chronicles a century of environmental stewardship and education. It explores ongoing efforts to protect the environment and describes numerous Audubon projects underway in New York State.
