Sparkill Creek Watershed Alliance

The SCWA is proud to be the recipient of a grant from the Foundation for the Rockland Country Club, Sparkill, New York, which has been very supportive of our water work. In their words, "The RCC Foundation was established over 30 years ago for charitable, scientific and educational purposes. It is the vehicle through which Rockland Country Club demonstrates its commitment to the community and youth of Bergen and Rockland Counties. We are happy to help support the Sparkill Creek Watershed alliance as Water is a precious resource that must not be taken for granted."

Good work cleaning up the creek!

Down on the Creek

A recent walk along the Sparkill starting at Tappan Memorial Library bridge waterfall, then south to DeWint House property, and all the way to where the creek turns east at the foot of Livingston in Tappan just where it hits Northvale's commercial section. Good timing. In a short while the undeveloped property south of DeWint will be overrun with wild roses (ouch!) and poison ivy. Laurie Peek
