Ulster County Creek Week

The 2011 Creek Week celebration was held from September 17-25th. The 2nd annual Creek Week was sponsored by Ulster County Environmental Management Council and Ulster County Department of the Environment.

Creek Week is intended to help build awareness and encourage the enjoyment of water and watersheds in Ulster County.

 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. See you again in 2012!
