UDR Watershed Network Newsletters

The newsletter serves as a way to keep the many organizations who play a role in protecting and restoring the UDR watershed up to date on important projects, plans, opportunities, and important policy developments that impact our watershed. 

A list of watershed activities and important dates that our partners are working on to encourage participation and make people aware of all the good work happening throughout the watershed is also included.  

Finally, in each newsletter we will be featuring a different watershed partner and highlighting the great work they are engaged in!

    The wild trout fishery of the Upper Delaware River has experienced significant heat stress this summer. Trout need cold, clean water to thrive, but the hot air temperatures of recent weeks are causing concern for habitat conditions in the river. Fortunately, thanks in large part to the advocacy efforts of the UDR conservation community, a “thermal bank” was established in the management plan that governs the operations of the NYC Delaware basin reservoirs.

    Autumn has arrived in the Upper Delaware River watershed and while we say farewell to Summer, we are excited for yet another season. The changing leaves of Fall mark the transition into cooler temperatures, shorter days, and a lot to look forward to. As field seasons and summer projects wrap up, we should take a moment to reflect and appreciate the outstanding work taking place in the UDR watershed. Together we are making a difference.
