Partnership

The OCWC has established a significant partnership with the Onesquethaw Coeymans Valley Alliance.  To expand participation and interest in the creek, its watershed and quality, the OCWC helped bring together community organizations within the watershed to form the OCVA. The OCVA will use community activists to plan joint events, and explore issues and activities involving such things as natural resources, water quality, history, and human activity impact.
