White Clay Creek, 1970-2001

Cohen dedicated much of his personal and professional life to the preservation of the White Clay Creek and its stream valley. This pursuit began in the 1970s when he was employed by the City of Newark. The Newark Beltway was the project that began this involvement. The culmination of his effort and other advocates was the inclusion of the White Clay Creek Preserve in the National Wild and Scenic River Program in 2001.
