Chemung Valley

STC co-chaired the Chemung Basin River Trail Partnership that was formed by agencies and residents in 1999 to develop a river trail system in the Chemung Valley and to promote the protection of its watershed. The Partnership was a partner in the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network, which connects visitors with the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers through 150 exceptional parks, wildlife refuges, museums, sailing ships, historic communities and trails.

The top priority for the Coalition is the development of the NYS Tributary Strategy to help states within the Chesapeake Bay watershed voluntarily reduce pollutants before mandatory requirements are enforced. STC serves on the Susquehanna River Basin Commission Water Quality Advisory Committee that addresses water issues throughout the Susquehanna watershed.
