What is Wac?
The Watershed Agricultural Council works with farm and forest landowners in the New York City Watershed region to protect water quality on behalf of nine million New York residents. The Council uses land conservation techniques such as
• Whole Farms Plans
• Forest Management Plans
• Conservation Easements
to help farmers, forest professionals and private landholders address water pollution concerns on properties located in the Croton and Catskill/Delaware watersheds.
Internationally recognized, the Council is a successful example of public-private partnerships in watershed management. The public benefit of clean drinking water is achieved through incentivized, on-site practices performed on private lands; this partnership model is referred to as “Payment for EcoServices,” or PES. Through PES, private landowners are surface-water stewards of New York City’s drinking water. Click here to read more about the Council and what we do.
