It is an online, GIS-based, all-taxa mapping tool that documents invasives in NY State. It is a new system so it's not all inclusive. If you have questions, you can contact imapinvasives@nynhp.org. Also, contact the officials from your local park to make they are aware of the invasive. They may have a management plan in place. Hi Janet,

In fact, $33.9 million was raised for the NY State Conservation Fund from sporting licenses and fees in 2010. An additional $11 million was placed in the Wildlife Restoration Fund from excise taxes on firearms, ammunition, and archery equipment. (Sourse: NYS,DEC) Responsible harvesting is a key part of wildlife management, with emphasis on protecting the environment, and sustaining balanced and diverse wildlife populations. Any landowner, farmer, or DEC officer can tell you what happens when there is an overpopulation of deer beyond the carrying capacity of the environment. The result is crop destruction, ecosystem degradation, starvation, and disease. A classic example of hunting revenue helping wildlife is the story of the wild turkey in NY State. The wild turkey was extinct in NY State. DEC re-introduced the species and monitored turkeys until the population increased dramatically. Now, the population is more than sustainable, even though turkey hunting has been reinstated for many years. This is a complete success story for wildlife, conservationists, and hunters.

I entered my original email address and hit "unsubscribe," but it told me that, that address was not subscribed. Then I entered the new email address which now seems to be confirmed but since I was already receiving email notices from NYSOEA at that address, I hope that I am not going to get double mailings now. My question is: Does this procedure change the email address listed with the list-serve? If not, how can I get that changed?
