The
Ashokan Watershed Stream Management Program is a
project of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County
and Ulster County Soil and Water Conservation District to
coordinate stream management in the Ashokan Reservoir Watershed.
Cooperative Extension coordinates: a watershed advisory council
and working groups, implementation funding and education and
outreach programs. Ulster County Soil and Water Conservation
District provides technical resources, project design and
implementation for stream management projects and provides
technical assistance to landowners. The project is funded
by a five year contract through New York City Department of
Environmental Protection.
The
Program has completed stream management plans for the Esopus,
Stony Clove, and Broadstreet Hollow Creeks (see project documents).
Additional stream management plans will be completed for other
streams in the watershed.
