Public Input On Recreational Stream Access

I only received this email today from Cornell Cooperative so it is very short notice but if you are interested here are the details:

Cornell Cooperative Extension Seeks Public Input for Improved Recreational Stream Access in the Ashokan Watershed

The Ashokan Watershed Stream Management Program is gathering the public’s input at three public sessions on where they would like to see improvements to recreational stream access in the Ashokan Watershed. Some ideas for improvement could be; improved parking areas, green infrastructure to manage stormwater runoff, benches along the stream, garbage cans or garbage pick-up, or wildlife habitat improvements. Or maybe you would just like to see more signs along the road indicating where there is public stream access! If you cannot make it make to any of the public outreach meetings or have a new idea, a map and survey that you can fill out and submit online can be found on our website ashokanstreams.org/streamaccess.html.

We are holding 3 public information gathering sessions in the towns of Shandaken, Woodstock, and Olive on the following dates, refreshments will be served.
