Salmon River Watershed Natural Resources Assessment

Salmon River Watershed Resources Assessment

The objective of the Salmon River Watershed Natural Resources Assessment is to develop a report that highlights the significant natural resources of the area and can be used to guide local planning efforts, DEC management, and individual land use decisions.

The partnership currently includes:
