The Coalition for the Delaware River Watershed this week announced the formation four work groups to continue the work of the Delaware River Watershed Forum held last October in Philadelphia to focus on restoration and protection issues.
The four groups: Federal Funding, Compiling a Delaware Watershed Blueprint, Fish and Wildlife Habitat and Marketing and Messaging To Build Constituencies will examine issues of interest to organizations across the watershed to help define priorities, needs, and strategies for action.
To express interest in one or more workgroups, contact Kim Beidler by sending email to: kim.beidler@njaudubon.org or call 609-392-1182. Workgroup members are invited to participate in all calls and meetings, and will help to define and advance workgroup objectives.
The work groups are part of the Delaware River Watershed Initiative launched last year by the William Penn Foundation. In April, the Foundation also announced the investment of $35 million in projects to protect and restore water quality throughout the Delaware Basin.
