Communities are connected by the river from Hancock, NY all the way down to the Delaware Bay, DE. Animals rely on the food and shelter the river provides in every season. Plants thrive on the nutrient dense soil in the floodplain of the riparian area. The Delaware River provides millions of people fresh drinking water.
