DEC Statewide Forest Ranger Highlights

Town of Ward
Allegany County
Enforcement:
On March 27, two Forest Rangers responded to a complaint of underage drinking on state land. Upon arriving at approximately 9:45 p.m. at Vandermark State Forest, the Rangers found a gathering of college students from a nearby campus. Several violations were noted and tickets issued for setting a fire on state land, depositing rubbish on state land, and underage alcohol possession on state land. The young people were advised to put the fire out and clean up the site. The Forest Rangers departed the area after the students complied with these directions.
