  • Assistance for NY Forest Owners
    - 1 Assistance for NY Forest Owners FORESTRY CONSERVATION CIRCULAR A Cornell Cooperative Extension Publication of the Department of Natural Resources New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences A statutory college of the State University at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY Revised November 2015 Assistance for New York Forest Owners Owning forestland in New York State is an exciting but challenging undertaking. Conse- quently, many forest owners need help with the management of their holdings and are interested in knowing the people and organizations that are available to assist them. Ownership of forest land can provide numerous benefi ts such as revenue, wildlife habitat improvements, and recreation. However, ownership also carries costs and responsibilities that may require assistance from others. Forest owners are faced with many considerations when they fi rst decide to manage their land for forest products. Questions that may arise are: (1) What are the advantages and disadvantages of NY’s Forest Tax Law (Sec. 480-a of the Real Property Tax Law)? (2) How can stewardship objec- Assistance for New York Forest Owners York Assistance for New tives be achieved while meeting fi nancial needs? (3) Are potentially expensive practices like thinning or pruning warranted? (4) How can recreational opportunities be maintained when a forest is being managed primarily for timber production? (5) What is the woodlot’s susceptibility to insect, disease, or fi re damage, and what are the appropriate precautionary measures against such hazards? and (6) When, how, and by whom should harvesting be conducted? Help is available to answer these and other forest management questions.

GLICK ALBANY Environmental Conservation th Assemblymember 66 District Governmental Operations New York County Rules Ways & Means December 15, 2012 The Honorable Sheldon Silver, Speaker New York State Assembly State Capitol, Room 349 Albany, New York 12248 Dear Speaker Silver: On behalf of the members of the Assembly Committee on Higher Education, I respectfully submit to you the Committee’s 2012 Annual Report which highlights our activities over the past year. The 2012 Legislative Session was a productive one. The 2012-13 Legislative budget for higher education provided $69 million in additional funding above that proposed by the Executive. The Executive proposal maintained State support for community colleges at prior-year levels of $2,122 for each full-time equivalent (FTE) student. The Legislature added $39.1 million to the Executive’s proposal, bringing funding levels from $2,122 to $2,272 per FTE student at SUNY and CUNY community colleges. The Legislature successfully increased support by $27.8 million and provided $87.8 million to the SUNY Health Science Centers at Stony Brook, Syracuse, and Brooklyn, and rejected the Executive proposal to sweep $884,000 in operating support from the Long Island Veterans Home to the General Fund. The 2012-13 Executive budget proposal maintained funding levels provided in a December 2011 extraordinary session for opportunity programs like the Education Opportunity Program (EOP) at $21.1 million; the Percy Ellis Sutton Search for Education, Elevation, and Knowledge (SEEK) program at $18.4 million; and College Discovery at $883,390.
