Our Mission Statement

The Butternut Valley Alliance encourages the preservation and protection of the environmental qualities, farming and cultural heritage, economic viability, open space and village charms of the entire watershed.
 
 

Who We Are

We are a group of citizens who live within the Butternut Creek watershed in Otsego County, New York in the headwaters of the Susquehanna River. We take an interest in preserving all aspects of the quality of life in the valley.
