NYSOWA Declaration of Principles
The NEW YORK STATE OUTDOOR WRITERS ASSOCIATION, Inc.,

to the out-of-doors and its enjoyment;

the earth's natural resources, such as proper management, conservation,
use and restoration thereof;
- to encourage the highest standard of ethics in the
use of these resources;
- to weld into every member's character a sense of
independence to the end that the flow of their expression on topical
matters of interest in the sphere of environmental conservation is
without regard to fear of penalty, or favor, either from this
association, or any other organization, or governmental unit;
- to promote integrity in its members, while permitting
the freest development of their art; and to work for the intellectual,
moral, and literary advancement of all members.
