RIVER VALLEY—There are three significant anniversaries regarding the river happening this year. Forty years ago, in 1968, Congress passed the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act; 30 years ago, in 1978 Congress designated the river as the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River; and 20 years ago, in 1988, the Upper Delaware Council (UDC) was formed to oversee the River Management Plan.

The National Park Service (NPS) is marking the occasion with two events that will highlight the river and the partnerships that work to protect it.
