Who Ya Gonna Call?
Citizens often call to say they have gotten the “run-around” when trying to deal with an environmental problem. While this does occur, frequently they simply have not called the right agency or organization. The primary objective of “Who Ya Gonna Call?” is to respond to that need. “Who Ya Gonna Call?” provides general descriptions of the most frequently encountered natural resource issues and provides contacts in both the private and public sectors. It is important to point out that, generally, no one agency or organization is solely responsible for the issue you are concerned about. Be prepared to work with a number of agencies and organizations to find a solution to your natural resource problem.We have contacted each of the numbers listed in “Who Ya Gonna Call?” to ensure the listings are up-to-date and accurate.
