What is the DEP?

What is the DEP is a video production that takes the viewer along with DEP employees as they band eagles, take water samples from Long Island Sound, inspect gasoline storage tanks, patrol state parks and perform other interesting job activities.  It also features students from Connecticut schools, elementary to college age, who share how they are helping to protect the environment.  The video highlights environmental stewardship and encourages the interested viewer to consider employment with the DEP.
