(a) The outdoor recreation and trail maintenance pins and patches may be donated for auction or raffle to not-for-profit organizations supportive of the outdoor recreation and trail maintenance program upon written request. Requests for such pins, patches and associated promotional posters must be in writing on the organization's letterhead stationery, stating the organization's purpose and goals and the date of the event at which such pins and patches will be auctioned. The department reserves the right to limit or deny an organization's request for such pins and/or patches where the numbers requested exceed the available supply or where the department finds that the proposed use of such pins and patches may be inconsistent with the purposes and policies set forth in section 11-0329 of the Environmental Conservation Law.

(b) A total of no more than 100 pins and 100 patches and 100 posters from each edition will be reserved for use by, and may be made available to department staff, other State agencies, landowners and project coordinators or others who assist the department in promoting the Outdoor Recreation and Trail Maintenance Pin and Patch Program. Such use of pins, patches and posters is solely for the purpose of display to the public at promotional events and to otherwise promote the program.

(c) The department in its discretion may enter into agreements permitting reproduction of the design for the pins, patches, and posters for other products when the use of such design promotes awareness of the Outdoor Recreation and Trail Maintenance Pin and Patch Program, and when each individual product contains a statement about the program.
