What To Do During Wildlife Encounters

If you’ve ever been out enjoying New York’s great outdoors, chances are you’ve encountered wildlife. From chipmunks in the picnic grounds to bald eagles flying overhead, New York’s state park system provides over 350,000 acres of habitat home to hundreds of species of wildlife. These animals are important natural components of New York’s ecosystems.
