WEST MONROE â For many, when it comes to the topic of land management, forests are king. And certainly the stateâs Department of Environmental Conservation pays them their well-deserved respect and concern, having designated 442 areas, comprising almost 800,000 acres, not including the Adirondack and Catskill state parks, as state forests. Fourteen of them are in Oswego County.
But there are also other types of land the DEC oversees, and though they may be less majestic than old-growth forests, and far fewer in number, in many ways theyâre just as important, and in some ways even more so.
Wildlife Management Areas fall into this somewhat lesser-known category. There are 128 WMAs in New York state, comprising nearly 235,000 acres. Five of them are in Oswego County.
