Scajaquada Creek is a significant waterway in Buffalo History, but today it is one of the most degraded in the region. It has been abused by generations of urban development – stripped of its wetlands, polluted by heavy contaminants, sewage, plastic and other household chemicals, channelized and rerouted, covered by a highway, and buried underground. Join Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper for a walk along the Scajaquada Creek path to discuss this history, current health, and explore what the future could hold for the creek and surrounding communities. We will begin at the Peter Street Park and walk along the Jesse Kregal Trail to the mouth of Scajaquada Creek at Niagara Street.
