The New York State Department of Conservation has awarded SUNY Oneonta’s Biological Field Station $2.2 million. Most of the money will be used to pay students to inspect boats and fishing gear with the goal of stopping the spread of aquatic invasive species in area lakes and rivers.
A man from Mohawk, NY had gone ashore to Dewongo Island located on Canadarago Lake, noticed his boat had drifted away from the shore and drowned after trying to swim after it.
Um, here kitty, kitty? Maybe not, judging by the size of the cat spotted by a trail camera near Richfield Springs last week, just 30 minutes from Utica.
If you haven't discovered Canadarago Lake near Richfield Springs, NY then Otsego Land Trust has a perfect opportunity this Saturday, June 21st with an event featuring excursions to Deowongo Island, which just opened to the public last year.
