Want to check out canoeing in the Hudson River’s Tivoli Bay, learn something about making maple syrup or how to prepare for hiking in the Adirondacks? Then DEC TV is for you. DEC, of course, stands for the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
DEC TV will feature short clips on outdoor recreation opportunities such as hiking in the Adirondacks, angling for bluefish off Long Island and canoeing the Hudson and Buffalo rivers. It also will provide information on wildlife, plants and important environmental programs, such as tagging moose and Atlantic sturgeon for research purposes, cultivating “urban forests” in cities and protecting the Lake Ontario Eastern Shore Dunes. Many of the videos include educational reminders about environmental stewardship and the importance of safeguarding New York’s resources for future generations.The majority of the more than 60 DEC TV clips that are immediately available were originally produced as part of ” Empire State Outdoors,” a weekly 30-minute television show produced by the department for a limited-run television broadcast in a number of New York State markets in 2005. The show’s segments have been re-edited into short, three-to-seven-minute clips for online viewing. In the future, DEC plans to add new video content to DEC TV.
Tune into DEC TV here.
