First State National Park Brandywine-Piedmont Watershed Plan

Abstract

The National Park Service is preparing a master plan for development of FSNP as part of a Foundation Document with input from the Woodlawn Coalition which is coordinated by The Nature Conservancy. During the summer of 2014, The Nature Conservancy and University of Delaware Water Resources Agency sponsored a field crew of university and high school students to conduct field surveys and stream monitoring to prepare a watershed management plan for eventual inclusion to the Foundation Document of the First State National Park. The following report summarizes the summer 2014 field work and data collection for the Piedmont tributaries that flow west toward the Brandywine Creek through the Woodlawn Unit of the First State National Park and adjacent Brandywine Creek State Park.
