Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper dedicates the month of September to recognize the history and promote the vision of restoration for Scajaquada Creek.
Waterkeeper’s vision is based upon the belief that water is the common thread which binds together community, economy, and ecology.
Today, Scajaquada Creek is a highly impaired waterway. However, the Creek is very important to the fabric of our community and the potential for a restored, healthy, and thriving Scajaquada is possible. Through patience, partnership, and perseverance, Western New Yorkers came together as a community to restore the Buffalo River; we can do it again for Scajaquada Creek.
Learn more the restoration plan and the work we are doing to protect Scajaquada Creek by visiting the web page here.
