Forest Ranger Scott Van Laer shares about the need for more forest rangers.
The longtime forest ranger has been traveling inside the Blue Line all year making a push to local governments about the need for more help.

Van Laer wants to see that number increased to reflect the growing popularity and acreage added under Governor Andrew Cuomo's tenure.
