About this listen

Sediment, turbidity, and riparian buffers, oh my! There's a lot that can happen in a stream on its way to becoming NYC's drinking water. Watershed managers have re-engineered part of Stony Clove Creek so that it's cleaner and clearer...and doesn't flood downtown Phoenicia anymore. This episode features Tim Koch, Stream Educator and Hydrologist with the Ashokan Watershed Stream Management Program (AWSMP) and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County. (Episode recorded in 2021)

If you're taking this tour in person, please play this episode at ⁠Simpson Mini-Park⁠ in downtown Phoenicia. Accessibility: the park has grassy turf and is not easily wheelchair accessible, but you can view the Stony Clove from the ⁠Main Street bridge⁠ which has a paved sidewalk. Please visit ⁠walkingthewatershed.com/podcasttour/listen.html⁠ to download a printed map, transcripts, accessibility info, and other important information.
