Woods and Waters
Environment
CCE Broome County is your resource for information on recycling, composting, forest management and invasive species. We offer free programs on recycling and composting to schools, youth organizations and adult groups. These free programs are partially funded by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation with additional funding from the Broome County Division of Solid Waste.
Our Master Forest Owner volunteers can conduct a free visit to walk through your woodlot and provide management suggestions, resources and referrals. Staff work with both landowners and municipalities to address invasive species management issues.
 Check out our resources for starting and maintaining compost bins. Learn more |
 Our ash and hemlock trees are threatened by invasive insects, but there are control options. Learn more |
