NY DEC Publication Going Green: If one picture is worth a thousand words, how would you describe a publication where the words and pictures are of one and the same? In the case of the CONSERVATIONIST -- a bi-monthly magazine published by the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) -- I'd describe it as GREEN. Why? I'll tell you why; because the pages of the slick, which has provided insight to hunters, fishermen and trappers since 1946, has been overhauled by the Spitzer administration and its so called sportsmen friendly DEC commissioner Alex Grannis, to the point where future editions will contain little, if any articles pertaining to traditional sports.

DEC Names New Marine Resources Director.

Patricia Riexinger, who has over three decades of experience working in DEC's natural resource management and protection programs, will the first woman to head the Division. Ms. Riexinger began her career with DEC in the Waterfowl Unit, and then spent four years as the reptile and amphibian specialist in the Endangered Species Unit.
