Volunteers preassembling parts of
a kiosk to be erected at the site of Public Fishing Rights (PFR) being
acquired by NY State on Onesquethaw Creek. The legal
requirements and easement transfer are expected to be completed in 2012.
Significant funds are ready to be spent on habitat and stream stabilization
projects once the PFR acquistion is complete.
Public access and recreational use of the stream is one of the goals of the
Watershed Management Plan recently completed by the Onesquethaw Coeymans Watershed Council (OCWC). Clearwater
Chapter of TU is one of the founding members of the OCWC and a major
contributor to OCWC work.
People interested in
participating in the work of the OCWC or Trout Unlimited should email\call Roy
Lamberton at 518 421-2500.
