Friends of the Chemung River Watershed

Organizer of Environmental Advocacy

Chemung River Friends is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in Elmira, NY. Our mission is to protect and promote and preserve the 45-mile-long Chemung River, its tributaries (the Canisteo, Cohocton, Cowanesque, and Tioga Rivers), and watershed through education and providing resources that allow our community to better use, enjoy, and respect our natural resources. We provide guided tours, hikes, and cleanups as we work to make our rivers easier, safer, and more fun to use and enjoy. We build boat launches and add and improve river trails. We also provide riverside education and safe boating programs for all ages.
