Everyone Lives in a Watershed
July is Dutchess Watershed Awareness Month. Throughout the month, local watershed organizations have sponsored a wide variety of events across the county, coordinated by the Dutchess Watershed Coalition.

As part of the festivities, Coalition volunteers have written a series of feature articles for the Poughkeepsie Journal's Sunday environment page. We've put them here as a way to increase awareness of our local watersheds and the importance of protecting them.
