Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper

As Western New Yorkers, we love our neighbors, our teams, and our waterfronts!

While Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper isn’t known for throwing a touchdown pass or shooting the winning goal with seconds left (we’ll leave that to the Bills & Sabres) we are known for being the guardians of Western New York’s waterways for 35 years. But just like the Bills and Sabres, we rely on a strong community backing for growth and success.

Our most notable success story is that of the Buffalo River. Officially declared dead in the late 1960s, Waterkeeper led the decades-long restoration efforts alongside many partners to bring the River back to life and transform it into the thriving waterway that it is today.

The story of the Buffalo River is a tale of caution, determination, hope, and resurgence, not unlike that of our beloved teams.

Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper’s mission going forward is to work to achieve the same successes on our other waterways as well, in addition to protecting our headwaters throughout the watershed. Give today for a win for our waterways!

Our mission is to protect and restore our water and surrounding ecosystems for the benefit of current and future generations.
