The final phase of a project to repair an aqueduct system that provides New York City with about half its drinking water is underway as scheduled, meaning the system will be shut down for the next eight months.
The good news for outdoor enthusiasts is, with more than 135,000 acres of land and water within the city’s watersheds open for recreation, including boating and fishing, hunting and trapping, there will be little impact on those activities during the shutdown, according to the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The only major impact is an anticipated restriction on some ice fishing activities.

With deer seasons taking center stage across New York in the coming days and weeks, the subject of donating venison to the needy comes with it.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation recently issued a press release touting the fact that the state association of New York’s 10 Feeding America member food banks collected 32 million pounds of food since launching in 2022. Among the food collected was venison. The release sought to remind hunters to participate in venison donation efforts.

With a few clarifications and deletions from the list of projects – whose initial asking price tag hit around $403 million – the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council approved approximately $160 million for about 50 projects for fiscal year 2026.
“This is the greatest gift we ever gave ourselves, to be able to do this. Because a lot of states have things they’d like to do but they don’t have the money,” LSOHC Vice Chair Ron Schara said of this year’s available funding.
