Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy

Description

We are a local not-for-profit land trust and watershed education organization supported by 1,200 families, businesses and organizations, that is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the water quality, scenic beauty, and ecological health of the lakes, streams, wetlands and watersheds of the Chautauqua region. Over the past 23 years, our organization has itself and in cooperation with the New York State, conserved two miles of Chautauqua Lake and Outlet shoreline and 718 acres of land across Chautauqua County and established 18 nature preserves. We provide watershed education programs and technical assistance to landowners and service providers on landscaping and conservation through our Healthy Landscaping--Healthy Waters Program.
