Wildlife and environmental conservation and preservation are challenges that touch all of us. This was the focus of John and Yoke DiGiorgio when they first approached the Narrowsburg community leaders in 2001 with the idea to establish EagleFest. Combining entertainment and education for all attending, the award winning Narrowsburg NY "EagleFest" is an event for everyone to be proud of! Successful in bringing local residents and out-of-town visitors of all ages to the day's multi-faceted series of activities, it brings much deserved attention to the natural resources that enrich our lives in the Delaware River Valley region.

Located along the Delaware River in Sullivan County, New York, Narrowsburg has been named the Eagle Capital of New York. This is because, in addition to increasingly more bald eagles that make the Upper Delaware Region their permanent home, eagles from up north migrate here each winter for the open water, abundant food supply and protected habitate.

STAY TUNED: The Delaware Valley Eagle Alliance will be announcing a new series of programs to take place throughout the year with a tentative Spring/Summer 2009 kick off date. Details will be released as they are confirmed.

In its efforts to increase awareness and understanding, and to promote the conservation of our wildlife and the natural environment, the Delaware Valley Eagle Alliance is tireless in its efforts to raise public awareness through diverse publications, educational programs, and events. The Alliance believes that knowledge is the key to changing attitudes toward conservation and our vital natural resources, and its work reflects this. It is committed to these labors because it is rooted in the belief that the preservation and stewardship of our natural world is essential to the continued growth, development and prosperity of all life that exists on Earth.
