Citizens want the Pocantico River to be restored

Restoring the Pocantico River’s historic route through the proposed buffer zone between Lighthouse Landing and Kingsland Point Park could:

• Create approximately 1,500 feet of new waterfront for recreational and educational activities.
• Control a serious, persistent flooding problem.
• Restore natural areas and wildlife – perhaps doubling the local population of fish and birds.
• Protect water quality.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation is working with us to determine the best restoration plan.

The Pocantico River should be restored to its original course.

“High-density residential development is threatening to choke the river banks like plaque on an artery.”
