How to Make the World More Sustainable

Join Brendan Woodruff, DEC's Director of Sustainability, for a presentation on what you, yes you, can do to make the world more sustainable. We all have more power than we realize to make change and the first step to unlocking it is to learn what that power is and how we can use it. The presentation will outline some of our most pressing environmental issues, such as climate change and waste generation, while going through ways that you can make positive environmental change in your community.

* Special note for hunters: most hunting zones do not align with DEC's regional boundaries, so you won't find hunting seasons listed in the regional calendars. Use the statewide calendar instead.

This calendar provides a listing of all DEC-sponsored events that are open to the public. You can click on any event in the calendar to view additional details about the event. Note that the events at environmental education centers will only display in the region in which they are located, even though they serve residents from adjacent areas. We welcome people with disabilities to all of our programs. Please call the contact number ahead of time to let us know your specific needs and we will be happy to learn how we can best serve you.
