New York Environmental Conservation Law Section 9-0715 - Cooperating owner.

9-0715. Cooperating owner.
A  cooperating  forest  or  farm  woodland  owner shall be an owner of
  forest land within a forest region who shall agree with the commissioner
  or his representative  to  comply  with  the  approved  forest  practice
  standards  of  the  forest  region,  in which his land is located, for a
  specified period of time which may be extended  from  time  to  time  by
  mutual  consent  and  may  be  reduced  to  writing at the option of the
  commissioner. The failure of such owner to comply with the provisions of
  such agreement will relieve the commissioner  and  the  state  forthwith
  from  the  obligation  to  render  to  any  such failing owner any state
  assistance provided for in section 9-0713. The commissioner may  provide
  limited  or  sample services to non-cooperating owners with such owners'
  consent and without agreement.
