The AWSMP has awarded $7.5 million for completion of over 100 stream and floodplain management projects in the Ashokan watershed since the grant program began in 2009.

Funding for the SMIP grant program is provided by the NYC Department of Environmental Protection and administered by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County. The Ulster County Soil and Water Conservation District provides technical assistance. The program’s overall goal is to protect and enhance water quality, natural stream stability, and ecosystem health.
