History
The Saw Mill River Coalition was created in 2001 to rebuild river advocacy activities, which had been carried out in the 1980’s and 1990’s by citizen groups but which had subsequently diminished. A grant from New York State’s Department of Environmental Conservation Hudson River Estuary Program provided initial funding to hire a part-time coordinator in 2003 to revive and sustain efforts to improve the condition and visibility of the Saw Mill River. Since then the network has expanded, continuing to grow throughout the watershed.
