WWE 2021
Join FUDR for our Annual "Water, Water, Everywhere" Conference!
Two-day virtual event scheduled for October 12 & 14, 2021
Is increasing pressure on the river threatening the future of the UDR fishery? How will the river be impacted when NYC shuts down the Delaware aqueduct for several months next year? What’s happening with the bugs on the river? Will there be enough water in the 2021/22 thermal bank? Can we put a dent in the Japanese Knotweed problem? How is NYSDEC preparing for the first year-round fishing season under the new state trout plan? Will the state of NY make a meaningful investment in 2022 to protect the UDR watershed and wild trout fishery?
We don’t pretend to have all the answers to these complex questions but your participation in the discussion will greatly enhance our ability to tackle the most pressing issues facing our river!
Please join FUDR and our conservation partners on October 12 & 14, 2021 at our annual "Water, Water, Everywhere" conference via Zoom.
Knotweed Event - Deposit, NY
Help Us Control the Spread of Japanese Knotweed in the Upper Delaware River Watershed!
Japanese Knotweed is a highly pervasive and opportunistic invasive plant that is rapidly spreading throughout the Upper Delaware River watershed. Knotweed crowds out native plant species that are more effective at stabilizing soils and fostering healthy habitat conditions. We are studying the impacts of its shallow root system, which we believe causes highly erosive conditions that contribute to one of the Upper Delaware River's most pressing ecological problems - accelerated sedimentation that negatively impacts aquatic habitat and widens and warms the river.
Please join FUDR and our conservation partners National Fish & Wildlife Foundation, National Park Service, and New York League of Conservation Voters to learn more about how we can start to control this undesirable plant that threatens the river we all love.
For the River,
Jeff Skelding
