Natural Resources
Our staff works to engage with the community to solve and respond to key environmental challenges, reduce and make more equitable our collective use of the Earth's resources, and inspire respect for natural systems and our reliance on them.
Beginning Maple Production
Join Steve Childs, NYS State Extension Maple Specialist, for this workshop on January 17th which will cover all aspects of getting started with maple. $10/household.
Forest Farming
Shiitake mushrooms are one of the valuable crops that forest owners can cultivate in their woods, along with fruits, nuts, and berries.
Forest Botanicals
Collecting forest plants for medicines, flavoring, or nutrition is one of the oldest uses of forests. Growing these plants in your woods can be a source of added income.
Woodlot Management
Visit our section of pages on Woodlot Management for resources that can help you make your woods healthier and more productive.

Don't Move Firewood!
Firewood Transport Rules were revised August 2012 to improve regulatory compliance and enforcement. The existence of this regulation helps prevent firewood infested with invasive insects such as emerald ash borer and Asian longhorned beetle from being transported throughout the state, destroying trees from one place to another.
Cornell's ForestConnect provides forest owners with educational resources to help them make decisions about the management of their property.
