Ashokan Stream Conference coming this weekend

The third annual Ashokan Stream Conference is happening this Saturday at the Bearsville Theater. A collaborative effort of New York City DEP, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County, and Ulster County Soil and Water Conservation District, the Ashokan Stream Management Program promotes a coordinated approach to stream management and protection within the Ashokan reservoir system. The system covers both Greene and Ulster County, in towns including Shandaken, Olive, Hurley, Woodstock, Hunter and Lexington. A focus of this year's conference is lessons learned from Irene and the impact of flooding on aquatic environments.
