DEC is proud to join several partners to lead by example and take actions that will reduce bird collisions. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos said, "We all play a role in the protection of our natural resources and the Lights Out initiative is a simple way to help a variety of bird species survive and thrive during the busy migration season. State buildings participating in Lights Out will keep non-essential outdoor lighting from affecting the ability of birds to migrate successfully, both in the Capital Region and throughout New York. New York State agencies today announced two initiatives designed to protect and foster increased appreciation for birds - a new 'Lights Out' initiative to help protect migrating birds as they navigate night skies, and the launch of the Capital Region segment of the New York State Birding Trail to highlight the State's world-class and wide-ranging birding opportunities. For Release: Friday, 'Lights Out' Initiative Launched in New York to Protect Migrating Birds State-Owned and Managed Buildings to Take Measures to Reduce Light, Prevent Bird Collisions New Capital Region Birding Trail Segment Also Launched to Increase Recreational Opportunities
