The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has provided funding through the Hudson River Estuary Program to Hudson Basin River Watch to raise awareness about water resources. This project has also been funded by the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC) to follow their work plan for the Hudson River Estuary Program to communicate to the public on issues in the area of estuary management.

Trees For Tribs Planting

Congratulations to our newest "Trees for Tribs" participant!  The Wyomanock Center in Stephentown recently planted over 100 trees and shrubs along the Wyomanock Creek.  Wyomanock Center promotes sustainable living and environmental education on property consisting of75 acres of mixed field, woodland and wetland. In the uppermost reaches of the Stockport Creek Watershed, the Town of Stephentown is located in Rensselaer County, and 99% of the town is located with the watershed boundary.  Visit www.wyocenter.org for information about events held at Wyomanock Center. 

STOCKPORT CREEK WATERSHED SIGN CAMPAIGN

To better understand the watershed concept, and strengthen the connection people have with the Kinderhook, Claverack, Taghkanic, Valatiekill, Wyomanock, and other numerous streams and waterways that empty into the Stockport Creek, we have embarked on a name-recognition campaign.  As you travel within the boundary of our 517-square mile watershed, you’ll be seeing our new signs prominently displayed at town and village halls, businesses, residences, and other locations.  If you would like to participate by displaying a sign on your property, or know of a good location that will draw some attention, please contact Fran@stockportwatershed.org.

(Signs are vinyl, double-sided, 18 x 24 with metal stakes; permission from property owner and adherence to local sign permits required)
