Save the Date: September 14-22, 2013
First event already is already been scheduled for the 2013 Creek Week, a paddle on the Lower Esopus Creek on 9/21 – sponsored by the Esopus Creek Conservancy – thank you!
2012 CREEK WEEK RECAP:
The 3nd annual Creek Week was co-sponsored by Ulster County Environmental Management Council and Ulster County Department of the Environment. Other collaborators for this year’s Creek Week included the Ashokan Watershed Stream Management Program, the Lower Esopus Watershed Partnership, and Riverkeeper.
The Ulster County Department of Environment and the Environmental Management Council believe that an annual Creek Week will better connect people to our fantastic Ulster County environment – particularly our watersheds and water resources. We hope that people use these events to learn more about what is just outside their door, learn something about how they can protect or improve the environment, enjoy time outside with friends and family, and to have fun.
