  • Power Point Presentation
    Fishkill Creek Watershed Education Program – EARTH SCIENCE LESSONS Power Point Presentation Order Photo Narration number* 1 This slide show presentation is about the Fishkill Creek. How many people have noticed these stream signs while driving around? What do they mean? (That the Fishkill Creek is part of the Hudson River Estuary watershed – the Fishkill Creek flows into the Hudson River, which is really an estuary). 2 This shows a generic watershed. Who can define a watershed? (An area of land that drains to a waterbody, also called a “basin”). What determines where the boundaries of a watershed, or “divides,” are located? (High topographic points on the landscape - water flows down hill with gravity). Note the sub- basin boundary drawn around the tributary. 3 This is a computer generated map from the Dutchess County Environmental Management Council, an agency in your county government working to help protect the Fishkill Creek. It shows how much of Dutchess County falls into the Fishkill Creek watershed. What do I mean when I say that? (Rain that falls on the land shown in color, eventually flows into the Fishkill Creek). Arlington students do field studies on Sprout Creek, a tributary to Fishkill Creek. The Sprout Creek Watershed is a sub-watershed (sub-basin) of the Fishkill Creek Watershed. Which color represents the Sprout Creek sub- watershed? (Pink). Which towns are in the Sprout Creek sub-watershed? (Washington, Union Vale, Pleasant Valley, LaGrange, East Fishkill, Wappinger). 4 This hand-drawn map shows the approximate boundary of the Fishkill Creek Watershed. The beginning of Sprout Creek is as far east but further north than the beginning of Fishkill Creek.

The Town’s primary transportation corridors include U.S. Route 9, State Route 9D, State Route 82, and State Route 376. The Metro-North’s Hudson Line also runs through the Town, offering residents relatively easy access to commuter rail with a nearby station at New Hamburg.
