Basha Kill in Wurtsboro
SUGAR LOAF – The Orange County Land Trustee has received $13,500
in funding for conservation related projects in the Hudson Valley and
Delaware River Basin.
The Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area and the Hudson River Valley
Greene awarded the land trust a grant for $3,500 to develop a web-based
conservation and educational mapping program, largely focusing on the
Mount Adam and Mount Eve region of the Warwick Valley which was identified
in the 2004 Orange County Open Space Plan as a “county area of scenic
significance.”
The land trust also received a $10,000 grant from the Nature Conservancy
to evaluate floodplains around the Neversink River and Basha Kill and
determine possible opportunities for conservation and restoration. The
Neversink and Basha Kill are located within the Delaware River Basin.
