Riverkeeper has been testing the Hudson River for fecal contamination and sewage discharges since 2006 and sharing the results with the public. In 2010 Riverkeeper partnered with the Catskill Creek Watershed Awareness Project to test Catskill Creek for fecal contamination, from the head of tide in Catskill to the South Cairo Bridge.
Come out to hear about the results of the Catskill Creek testing and plans to expand this study further upstream. A presentation, by Liz LoGiudice of Cornell Cooperative Extension; and Tracy Brown and John Lipscomb of Riverkeeper, will be given followed by a question-and-answer session.
Please register by March 11 by calling 518-622-9820 x0.
If you can’t make the presentation but are interested in volunteering for the sampling program, please email Jennifer Epstein at [email protected] for more information.
