State DEC proposes $14 million in fee hikes

ALBANY, N.Y.
Hunting, trapping and fishing are about to get more expensive in New York state.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation is proposing $14 million worth of fee hikes to make sure the state Conservation Fund remains solvent.
Sporting license fees are dedicated to the fund, which supports programs such as fish stocking, wildlife monitoring, stream and lake surveys, and pheasant rearing.
The proposal goes to the Legislature for approval with the rest of the state budget. It would raise the fishing license and the small and big game hunting license fees from $19 to $29. But it would decrease the one-day fishing license from $15 to $5.
DEC spokesman Yancey Roy says the new fees, to take effect Oct. 1, would increase the Conservation Fund to $54 million.
