EHSA and the EH Town Litter Action Committee removed fifteen garbage bags of disgusting litter from throughout Maidstone Park – one of East Hampton’s signature spots. Why it is necessary to educate people that using idyllic public spaces as their personal garbage cans is not cool is beyond us.
DEC’s Hunter Education Program is offering a free two-day hands-on youth hunting safety course on April 12 and 13. It is held from 7:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. on both days at the Peconic River Sportsman’s Club in Manorville.
Participants will be taught and supervised by a plethora of certified Hunter Education Instructors, including professional trainers, state game wardens, and senior Peconic River Sportsmen’s Club members. This heavily resourced NY state program is leaps and bounds more valuable and meaningful than any online or local option. Get sense for it here.
Open to ages 12 to 16 who have not yet already completed Hunters Ed. The class is limited to 30 participants.
Applications must be returned by March 24, 2025,
Participants who successfully complete the program will receive their Hunter Education Training Certificate. This certificate is required to purchase a hunting license, and is valid for life and in all states.
Part of the “Get Offline, Get Outside” initiative.
