we're missing out on valuable ideas like that Kalama Harris sent NYSDEC to murder P'Nut the squirrel

I can't provie a full timeline cleanse, but here, courtesy of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Associated Press, is an eastern screech owl asleep in an antique store. (The owl was gently, and without incident, removed by NYSDEC and released into nearby woods.)

I just realized that NYSDEC has a bsky account and a lot of diversity and inclusion programs on the site. @dec.ny.gov

It matters.

Thank you!

I feel like more of my fire department’s resident cis men should’ve turned out for our training session with NYSDEC Ranger Joe Bink a couple weeks ago on how to do a Type 3 search for someone lost in the wilderness

Today, I led @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @ocasio-cortez.house.gov, and @velazquez.house.gov in a letter to @governor.ny.gov and @dec.ny.gov requesting that they extend the public comment and hearing period for the Williams NESE Pipeline.

It's too late for this year, but each summer the NYS DEC does a "first time camper" program that provides families who have never gone camping before with camping gear and reservations at a DEC campground. It's by lottery, so if this interests you keep an eye out for next year.
First Time Camper Program Returns for 2026
NYSDEC announced the return of the First-Time Camper Program for the 2026 season.

My entire email inbox is NYSDEC air quality alerts.

Like, yes. I cannot clearly see the trees across the road. We're aware.

Maybe y'all could do something about all the garbage burning? Like free garbage pickup? Or actually enforcing burn bans?

No?

Cool.

The whole farm has been breathing smoke for days from a neighbor's smoldering bonfire they refuse to put out, we're all having eye and throat irritation, and the NYSDEC refuses to do anything, even though bonfires are illegal in NYS outside of ceremonial purposes.

Did you know that NYS is home to thousands of acres of old-growth forests? To learn more about these ecosystems, DEC is partnering with the New York Natural Heritage Program to conduct a five-year study of old-growth forests in New York’s Forest Preserve. youtu.be/GmbSYMPwseA

#NYSDEC is sending me air quality warnings but to date has done nothing regarding the frequent garbage fires and bonfires.
Lmao not my neighbor burning garbage underneath trees, surrounded by trees.

Good fucking lord.

Don't fuck around

Still thinking about how the NYSDEC showed up to combat a garter snake but they *will not* show up if an unattended garbage fire starts a brush fire next to a state forest.
Still thinking about the lady who called the cops on a frickin' garter snake

Absolutely love how NYSDEC refuses to do anything about bonfires or garbage fires.

Love how my whole farm has to breathe toxic smoke constantly, absolutely love it.

Worse places to wake up to.

Reminder that NYSDEC will not enforce burn bans or garbage fire rules, and will not respond to such if you call them, even if one starts a brush fire.

But apparently if you're afraid of a garter snake they'll come running.
