Darby Creek Valley Association (DCVA) is the watershed stewardship and education organization for the Darby Creek Watershed.

DCVA is a nonprofit watershed organization dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the Darby Creek Watershed and its resources, including water, wildlife, historical sites, floodplains, wetlands, and riparian zones. A major goal of DCVA is the immediate prevention of all forms of pollution in the Darby Creek and its tributaries, including a prohibition against all forms of dumping and construction within floodplain zones and maintenance of a debris-free stream through clean-ups and expanded public education programs. DCVA has worked energetically to support the protection of historic properties, such as the Swedish Cabin and Blue Bell Inn, and has as its ultimate goal the development of a 30-mile greenway system to serve this Watershed’s many highly urbanized communities.

Thank you to the voters of Delaware County for showing up and voting YES! This is a historic opportunity to protect Delco's Open Space that has been made possible thanks to you having your voice heard. 🥳

Thank you, neighbors. Together, we showed up and made our voices heard. We showed up for ourselves. We showed up for our clean water. We showed up for the wildlife that cannot vote for themselves. We showed up for the future of the communities we love.

This victory belongs to all of us.

Please consider following our partners. They’re already doing such important work in the area, and now they’ll be empowered to take on even more. We thank them for their support and cannot wait to see what meaningful projects they take on next for the betterment of our beautiful county!

Delco neighbors! WE have the power RIGHT NOW to help future generations look for lightning bugs, splash in the crick, breathe clean air, and make memories outdoors. Just like the memories we all made growing up.

If this measure does not pass, even more resources will be gobbled up and taken away from our kids and their kids.

Vote YES. Please see our website for more.

DCVA encourages our constituents to vote YES on the Delco Open Space Referendum this Tuesday, Nov. 3rd

We’re glad you asked! The ballot language requires full public disclosure of all project spending.
- This includes annual independent audits of all project spending.
- Funds can only be used for the purposes stated in the proposal and cannot be used for other purposes.
- Funds raised locally could be matched by funds from the state and federal governments and private sources, leveraging two to three times the local funding.

We deserve transparency and accountability, and this measure GUARANTEES we’ll get it. You can trust that a vote to protect our water and land will be used for that purpose.
