The Upper Susquehanna is the northern most watershed, of its size, of the Chesapeake Watershed. This watershed has significance for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as it is the focus of the Upper Susquehanna Conservation Alliance or USCA.&nbsp;</span></span></p><p><span style='color:#000000;'>USCA is an alliance of agencies, organizations, academic institutions, and individuals who are working collaboratively to conduct green infrastructure planning, implement restoration and maintenance of high quality waters and habitats, protect and restore species of greatest conservation need, reduce impacts of flooding, and promote sustainable working landscapes for the people of the watershed.</span></p><p><span style='color:#000000;'>In 2010 the New York Ecological Services Office led the establishment of the USCA to promote landscape level conservation in the New York portion of the Susquehanna River/Chesapeake Bay watershed. This effort has resulted in over 200 members from 50 organizations working together in this portion of the watershed. For the past ten years, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has sponsored annual meetings in order to strengthen partnerships, share funding opportunities, and work collaboratively on conservation projects.</span></p>
