The Friends of the Old Croton Aqueduct advocate for the Old Croton Aqueduct and Tunnel, fighting to preserve the integrity of the park and to protect it from encroachments by private landowners. Please find below examples of our work.
On June 27th our docents and Board Members gathered at the Keeper’s House to celebrate the designation of the first Scenic Landmark in The Bronx -- Aqueduct Walk -- by the New York City Landmarks Commission.
The Friends are active in View Preservation and its impact everywhere on the 26 miles of the trail. We know how important views of the Palisades and the Hudson River are to walkers.
Thank you to all who have written to the Ossining Zoning Board of Appeals supporting enforcement of the required 25-foot buffer between the Aqueduct property and the 4-story building proposed for 49 Spring St.
