The Watershed Report

This is a video trailer for the upcoming documentary, Hemlock Lake Come 2028, a story about the public water source for Rochester, New York. Hemlock and Canadice Lakes are the last two undeveloped Finger Lakes, and the City of Rochester owns more than 7,000 acres of land around them. The land was purchased incrementally between the 1890’s and the 1950’s to protect the water from development and human activities.

Inspired naturalist, Peter Debes guides a Sierra Club outing to explore the Hemlock Lake watershed. Mr. Debes is the co-founder of Nature Discoveries, an organization offering worldwide vacation-learning adventures.

Watershed TV is a monthly news and information program which documents activities taking place in the watershed communities surrounding Conesus Lake.

If you are a Time Warner Cable subscriber, tune into Community Access Channel 19, the first Sunday of each month @ 7:30 PM to find out what’s happening in your watershed.

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) virus is a serious pathogen of fresh and saltwater fish that is causing an emerging disease in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada. VHS can cause hemorrhaging of fish tissue, including internal organs, and can cause the death of infected fish. Once a fish is infected with VHS, there is no known cure.
