Schoharie Watershed Summits

The Schoharie Watershed Summits are annual events organized by the SWSMP.

The Schoharie Watershed Summit (Summit) is a one-day conference that was developed to serve as a forum that brings a diverse set of Watershed stakeholders together to network, learn from, and share interests with one another. The first Summit – presented by the Schoharie Watershed Assistance Program in 2007 – was attended by approximately 120 people and focused heavily on turbidity issues. The turnout was indicative of the deep interest local and regional stakeholders have in learning about the status of stream management in the Schoharie basin, the different programs that are available to support local communities and landowners, and how to protect the quality of the community’s natural resources. With morning presentations, followed by afternoon training sessions, the Summit offers community members the opportunity to hear about relevant studies and projects, while simultaneously providing local officials with training opportunities that fulfill annual training requirements.

The program is offered free of charge and draws attendees from each of the municipalities – across three counties – within the Schoharie basin.
