Source Water Stewardship by Farm and
Forest Landowners
The Watershed Agricultural Council (WAC) is a non-profit organization
with the mission to support the economic viability of agriculture
and forestry through the protection of water quality and the promotion
of land conservation in the New York City watershed region. WAC is funded by New York City, USDA Forest Service and other federal and foundation sources.
Protecting
the water source for New York City requires the cooperation
of a wide range of partners – for everything from funding,
implementation, planning and outreach. Read more about the
many WAC projects being carried out by regional upstate and
downstate partners who help us everyday.
