After a successful first year of project implementation, we are excited to once again have the opportunity to sponsor a group of Sediment, Nutrient, and Pollution Reduction (SNPR) projects in our watershed for summer, 2023! We now have a generous donor that will donate $5,000 in matching funds for our March SNPR Fundraiser. Will you help us fund a Pollution Reduction Project in summer, 2023? Donate today! |
2023 Project Plan
Hydroseeding Ditches Why it Works: Reduces erosion in ditches which convey water and limits pollutant loading into Seneca Lake. Project Plan: Schuyler County, 2023 |
Upland Water Retention Why it Works: Reduces concentrated flows, limits roadway flooding, protects public infrastructure. Project Plan: Ontario County, 2023 |
WaSCoBs Why they Work: Increases resiliency to intense storm events, allows nutrient carrying sediment to settle out. Project Plan: Seneca County, 2023 |
Cover Crops Why they Work: Root structure secures soil between crop growing season, reduces nutrient loss, limiting fertilizer needs. Project Plan: Schuyler County, 2023 |
