December is a Great Time to Give Back to the River!
The Upper Delaware River watershed is one of the finest river systems in the country. Its recreational appeal is superb and offers millions of people outstanding outdoor opportunities while providing an urgently needed economic boost to local communities.
Friends of the Upper Delaware River (FUDR) is the leading advocacy voice for the river. We live here, we wake up every day by the river, and we understand the rhythms of the watershed and the needs of both residents and visitors to our region.

There are many competing interests for Delaware River water and the tail waters below the NYC water supply reservoirs require a full-time advocacy voice to make sure water quality, the health of river based economies, and the world class wild trout fishery are top notch!
In 2021, we worked hard alongside our conservation partners and coalitions to:
Secure more than $500,000 in new federal funding to support critical habitat and water quality protection projects in the UDR tailwaters
Complete a comprehensive high definition stream survey of the entire UDR tailwaters system that will help identify future stream restoration projects
Initiate the development of a comprehensive and visionary UDR recreational plan to help manage the increasing usage of the river
Ensure the UDR thermal relief protocol was administered effectively to keep river temperatures cool during summer heat waves
Play a leadership role in the formation of the federal Delaware River Congressional Caucus chaired by NY Congressman Antonio Delgado
Please consider a generous end of the year tax deductible financial gift in 2021 to help FUDR continue to fight hard every day for the river we all love.
On behalf of the FUDR Board of Directors and Staff, our best wishes for a happy and safe holiday season!
