Upper Delaware Council
- The Council’s existence evolved from special provisions in the 1978 legislation which designated the
Upper Delaware River as a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, and called for
development of a management plan and a program providing for the coordinated implementation and
administration of the plan. To that end, the Upper Delaware Council (UDC) was formed in 1988. - Upper Delaware Council Publications
