Intern season at DCSWCD is at its peak! 👩‍🏫🌱

Wednesday June 24, the district's buffer program staff and interns hosted an Upper Susquehanna Coalition steward workday at the Marvin Glass riparian forest buffer planting/wetland restoration site!

The event hosted 25 total attendees: 15 interns from various counties and programs, 3 Upper Susquehanna Coalition staff, one professor from the SUNY Cobleskill environmental/fisheries and wildlife department, and DCSWCD CREP representative/other district staff.

It was a great day for networking 👥 manual labor on our lands⚙️ and learning about ecology and various projects at the district🌳

What a great event from the month of May, where Delaware County truly demonstrated the power of partnership!

If not secured, fuel oil and propane tanks pose a significant environmental and safety hazard during a flood. Property owners in CRS communities can take steps to reduce flood impacts, such as securing tanks. Actionable steps like these add up and can positively impact the CRS rating of their municipality. The Community Rating System (CRS) program helps reduce flood insurance premium discounts.

If you live within the West-of-Hudson Watershed, contact Catskill Watershed Corporation for assistance anchoring your eligible tanks at no cost. For more info and related forms, visit: https://cwconline.org/programs/flood-hazard-mitigation/.

Not in the WOH Watershed or a CRS community, but still concerned about flooding? Contact your fuel oil or propane dealer or service company to discuss how to secure your tanks and protect your property and community.

DCSWCD’s Stream Program staff work closely with CRS communities to develop and implement projects that meet the goals of the CRS program as well as provide technical support with the community’s annual renewal and five-year verification paperwork. Participating municipalities in Delaware County include the Town of Walton, Village of Walton, Town of Middletown, Village of Margaretville Page, and Fleischmanns, Village of.
