The Department of Conservation is holding a hearing tomorrow on their new land management plan, which is understood to allow Frack-Drilling in 786,329 acres upstate, (Four hundred and forty one state forests will be affected).
Come out and rally with us in front of the hearing. come before 7 to sign up to testify if you'd like if you think enough is enough already. First note that we know that the DEC had already planned to grant permits to the Fracking industry before, and that environmentalists only just found out about this hearing at the last minute. If the impact statement is out to allow Deforestation for Fracking or not, we have to voice the opposition against it.
