Part of Lenapehoking Watershed Art, a series of art installations and events encompassing the Delaware River watershed.

 

Produced in conjunction with The Alliance for Watershed Education of the Delaware River, comprised of 23 environmental education centers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.

 

The Lenape were here first; Lenapehoking is their word for their ancestral lands, encompassing the Delaware River watershed.

 

The Delaware River is the longest undammed river east of the Mississippi, and its watershed stretches all the way into upstate New York, providing clean drinking water for more than 13 million people – that’s nearly 5% of the entire United States’ population! The Delaware River watershed provides important ecological habitats to a multitude of species, and provides recreation for cyclists, hikers, paddlers and other outdoor enthusiasts.
