Since 2007, New York State’s Trees for Tribs Program has been planting young trees and shrubs along stream corridors to prevent erosion, increase flood water retention, improve wildlife and stream habitat, as well as protect water quality. Trees for Tribs has engaged more than 7,600 volunteers in planting more than 66,000 trees and shrubs at 470 sites across New York State.

Orange County is currently working on a watershed management plan for the Monhegan Brook, which runs through the City of Middletown before reaching the Wallkill River.
