Frequently asked questions
|
WHAT IS TIPP NY INC.? | |
| TIPP NY INC. is a non-profit organization formed in 1990. Concerned sportsmen met with the Law Enforcement Division of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. The group wanted a way that citizens witnessing possible violations could get involved to help preserve our resources. In 1993, TIPP NY, INC. became an organization on its own with various members. | |
|
| |
|
A person witnessing a possible violation of the Environmental Conservation Law can call the toll-free number. Callers need not give their names or testify in court. The information is relayed to an Environmental Conservation Officer to investigate. From time to time, rewards are paid. A committee of TIPP members administers the rewards. To date, more than 165 rewards have been paid totaling approximately $25,000. | |
|
WHO ARE POACHERS & POLLUTERS? | |
| Poachers are not sportsmen; true sportsmen follow the laws. A poacher is a person who disobeys the laws and behaves in an unethical manner. A polluter is a person who breaks the law by disposing of items in places not provided by law as a refuse area. | |
