Oswego, NY – The State Department of Environmental Conservation is seeking volunteer deer watchers in Central New York.

The DEC's Cortland Wildlife office is still experimenting with a program initiated three years ago, aimed at gathering more information on the size and composition of the deer herd.

WRVO's Jasmyn Belcher spoke with Dave Riehlman, a wildlife biologist for the DEC.

WRVO is at a critical moment.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
