DEC lays out its 10-year plan for the Three Mile Bay Wildlife Management Area

CONSTANTIA and WEST MONROE – For many, when it comes to the topic of land management, forests are king. And certainly New York State’s Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) 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 they’re just as important, and in some ways even more so.

Heeding a higher call: Martha Lester Harris made the jump from journalism and government to the seminary

Martha Lester Harris’ life has been defined by reinvention. She has worked in television news, been a press secretary and held other jobs in state and federal government. She’s also been an entrepreneur. But at the age when many people are planning their retirements, Harris believes God has much more for her to do. In May, at the age of 65, she is set to graduate from Lancaster Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree and a Certificate of Anglican Studies, with the goal of eventually becoming an Episcopal priest. Majoring in English and theater at Dickinson College is what brought Harris to central Pennsylvania from her native Delaware. Broadcast news is what kept her here.

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.
