Your Help is Needed to Protect Delaware County Waterways

The Upper Delaware River Tailwaters Coalition and Friends of the Upper Delaware River are working on an exciting new project to protect, manage, and restore waterways in Delaware County, New York.

They are working on a first of its kind Stream Corridor Management Plan in Delaware County downstream of the NYC reservoirs. This plan will serve as a blueprint for the future management and protection of important water resources. 
 
A series of public workshops will highlight the values and functions of waterways in Delaware County and the important social, economic, and cultural benefits they provide. If you want to play a personal role in their protection and management, plan on attending one of these workshops  
 
A second series of meetings - The Basics of Stream Dynamics - will address the basic components of stream protection and how they impact people and wildlife.
