Come celebrate the beauty and wonder of the Catskill Mountain streams through interactive exhibits, display booths, guided stream walks, and a host of activities for children and adults alike! The 3rd annual Batavia Kill Stream Celebration is a Free Event for people of all ages who have an interest in learning about the environment and the importance of stream stewardship.
On Saturday, August 1, 2009 the grounds of the Country Suite Bed and Breakfast in the town of Ashland, Greene County, will come to life with an amazing assortment of activities, educational displays, music, and theater—something for everyone. Born through a collaborative effort involving public, private, government, educational and non-profit institutions, the Batavia Kill Stream Celebrations are organized to promote and celebrate the natural environment through watershed stewardship and education.
While the event will offer many “festival activities” including interactive displays, active programs, games, great food, prizes, and music, the Celebration will also promote environmental awareness by stressing the importance of the Batavia Kill Stream as a valuable natural resource for the local communities and the region as a whole, particularly New York City. One of many streams West of the Hudson supplying NYC’s water, the Batavia Kill is in fact a precious commodity to millions, and the Celebration is designed to emphasize this interdependency & connectedness between upstate and downstate residents, and how everyone has a stake in maintaining this essential resource. |
