Welcome to project implementation, located at the confluence of your dreams and good stream science.
We've worked together since 2009 to carefully identify many factors to guide the best stream stewardship projects in the Rondout and Neversink basins, together with the education, outreach and training needs of the community for continued success and sustainability.
EDUCATION & OUTREACH GRANTS APPLICATIONS
Funding is in place to support the Towns of Denning and Neversink, residents, educators, students, community organizations and scientists - the many stakeholders in the health of our streams and rivers. Eligible projects to improve water quality and education about stream stewardship practices include: erosion control, floodplain management, stormwater BMPs, stream crossings, roadside ditch maintenance, training/workshops, public presentations, and school/organization partnerships.
