Register One idea is the East Parade Circle Beautification Pilot Project which supports future community investment through environmentally sustainable community-based beautification efforts. These efforts aim to improve the built environment while creating socially and culturally relevant places that improve the perception of place on Buffalo’s East Side. Through investment in the built environment and in the people who live, work and play in there, we can attract private investments to turn the tide of economic decline in the neighborhood. A video of this project is viewable at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwSpmsIQFc May Clothing Drive Clean out your closets and drop off your used textiles at sites around Western New York on May 2. Materials do not have to be in usable condition and will be recycled or reused. Sites will accept clothing, shoes, bedding and pillows, towels, curtains, throw-rugs, purses, belts, backpacks, stuffed animals and dolls. For a complete list of sites, see EARTH DAY in May 2015.pdf.

    New York FRESHWATER April 2019 FISHINGDigest Fishing: A Sport For Everyone NY Fishing 101 page 10 A Female's Guide to Fishing page 30 A summary of 2019–2020 regulations and useful information for New York anglers www.dec.ny.gov Message from the Governor Freshwater Fishing: A Driver for Ecotourism New York State is committed to increasing and supporting a wide array of ecotourism initiatives, including freshwater fishing. Our approach is simple—we are strengthening our commitment to protect New York State’s vast natural resources while seeking compelling ways for people to enjoy the great outdoors in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. The result is sustainable economic activity based on a sincere appreciation of our state’s natural resources and the values they provide. We invite New Yorkers and visitors alike to enjoy our high-quality water resources. New York is blessed with fisheries resources across the state. Every day, we manage and protect these fisheries with an eye to the future. To date, New York has made substantial investments in our fishing access sites to ensure that boaters and anglers have safe and well-maintained parking areas, access points, and boat launch sites. In addition, we are currently investing an additional $3.2 million in waterway access in 2019, including: • New or renovated boat launch sites on Cayuga, Oneida, and Otisco lakes • Upgrades to existing launch sites on Cranberry Lake, Delaware River, Lake Placid, Lake Champlain, Lake Ontario, Chautauqua Lake and Fourth Lake. New York continues to improve and modernize our fish hatcheries. As Governor, I have committed $17 million to hatchery improvements.
