Our involvement in bringing together the Upper Delaware River and New York City communities has made us realize that there's nothing like good food, music and conversation to foster creative organizational ideas.

Coming off the success of our Flow Slow event in September, we have organized a SnowFlow event that will be occuring on the weekend of February 12th at Belleayre Mountain in the Catskill Mountains. The press release is below - more information at http://SnowFlow.org
"SnowFlow is a collaboration between several organizations interested in creativity, sustainability and organizational awareness and who all share common concerns regarding the environmental hazards that threaten our water and seek to raise awareness by focusing our creativity in ongoing collaborations and projects.
SnowFlow will be held the weekend of February 11-13, 2011 at the Full Moon Resort and Belleayre Ski Mountain located within the Catskill State Park and forest preverve. This location is geographically significant as a main contributor to the NYC watershed and the headwaters to the Delaware River, recently declared the nation’s most endangered river.
SnowFlow is the winter version of the floating river conference FlowSlow, and annual event which took place in mid-September of 2010. The main initiative for SnowFlow is to bridge water rights activism in the Hudson and Upper Delaware Valleys in relation to the issues of natural gas extraction and ‘hydrofracking’ by framing events outdoors, thereby allowing participants to celebrate the existing purity of our water in its most crystalline form, snow!
The events will combine art, music, performance and conversations to creatively produce a variety of works that raise awareness of the critical issues threatening our region. A SnowFlow Happening will cascade down the slopes of Belleayre Mountain, a parallel artistic public ‘intervention’ of this winter carnival, simultaneously occurring as the snow shelter building competition unfolds at the Full Moon Resort. Events will be linked via the airwaves with broadcasts from free103point9’s WGXC. SnowFlow will continue into the evening witha public reception dinner and panel discussions exploring Peak Water and regional Catskill Foodshed initiatives followed by inspired musical performances curated by the Electronic Music Foundation and ISSUE/Project Room. SnowFlow concludes on Sunday with a pure water blessing and a snow shelter juried award ceremony.
For a list of participating organizations, registration and pricing information, and schedule of events, please visit the SnowFlow page on this site."

The Fall Foliage, Farms and Fracking tour was a success! An idea born out of the FlowSlow event held on the Delaware River, Beka Econompolous of Not An Alternative worked with SkyDog Projects and organized a bus tour of 30 individuals from the city who visited farms in the Upper Delaware River valley. The group learned about the issues facing the farmers and the upstate economy, and the impacts and multiple views regarding the natural gas drilling in the area. Coverage of the event has been featured on the radio station WJFF.
