Lower Delaware Wild & Scenic River Annual Meeting: September 28, 2015

The annual meeting of the Lower Delaware Wild and Scenic River Management Committee will take place on Monday, September 28, 2015 from 6:30 p.m. until 9 p.m. at the Frenchtown Borough Hall, 29 2nd Street, Frenchtown, N.J. A highlight of the meeting, which is open to the public, will be the distribution of the 15-Year Accomplishments Brochure for the Lower Delaware National Wild and Scenic River, which was written and designed by DRBC for the National Park Service (NPS).

The Accomplishments Brochure details successful projects implemented during the first 15 years of the Lower Delaware National Wild and Scenic River Program. It serves as a companion to a full report that chronicles the program's history and assesses whether its initial goals and recommendations have been met. The report was prepared by the U.S. Department of the Interior, NPS, Northeast Region in cooperation with the DRBC and the Lower Delaware Wild and Scenic River Management Committee. View the brochure and report online.

Added to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System by President Clinton in 2000, the lower Delaware River includes a 38.9-mile section of the main stem Delaware (and about 28 miles of selected tributaries: the Tinicum, Tohickon, and Paunacussing Creeks) linking the Delaware Water Gap and Washington Crossing, Pa. The lower Delaware is considered a partnership wild and scenic river, overseen by the Lower Delaware Wild and Scenic Management Committee, with funding support and oversight from the NPS.

In addition to this section of the non-tidal Delaware River, there are several other river stretches and sections of tributaries that are a part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. To learn more, please click here.
