Watching the wildlife

July

Want to check in on some of your favorite critters this holiday weekend? The state Department of Environmental Conservation, along with some partner organizations, has put together a Web site dedicated to the state’s Watchable Wildlife.

New York State has long been one of the nation’s premier, year-round destinations for wildlife viewing because of its range of habitats, migration corridors, public lands and public facilities. A national survey estimated that there are nearly four million people that participate in wildlife watching in New York annually, and while participants are increasing their appreciation of nature, they often also contribute to local economies. Watchable Wildlife . . . provides a user-friendly way to look up the best locales and settings to view wildlife – and helps promote eco-tourism opportunities in the state.

You can also suggest new viewing sites by using the Web page’s nomination form.
