Target Audiences
Non-Industrial private landowners: Currently 90% of New York's landscape is forested
and the majority of these lands are owned by non-industrial, private landowners.
Farmers: Farming practices are a major influence on erosion and non-point pollution in
streams and lakes.
Town planners and zoning boards: Unlike wetlands which receive considerable protection
at the state and federal levels, streamside protection is the responsibility of
municipal and town governments.
Youth groups: Youth groups are active in local streamside restoration efforts and a good
mechanism for communicating with adults.
