Hudson River Estuary
A Day in the Life of the Hudson River
Home
Our ninth annual Hudson River 'Day in the Life' is scheduled for Tuesday October 18th, 2011 with over 60 sites registered to participate. A list of participating sites and the school and environmental educator partners who will be at each location is attached. Results of this year's day at the Hudson!
'DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE HUDSON RIVER' INFORMATION
The event is designed to celebrate the Hudson River Estuary and educate participants on the uniqueness of our estuary as part of the annual recognition of "National Estuaries Week". The event is coordinated by The Hudson River Estuary Program of New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. Each fall, environmental education centers are encouraged to team with school classes along the Hudson River to create a day-in-the-life picture of the river from the Troy Dam to New York Harbor.
The event began in 2003 with a modest 300 plus student participants and has grown until this October 2010 we involved over 3000 students at 65 sites from the New York Bight up to Lock 5 in the Hudson River. Each site gathers data on the Hudson and shares their results, gaining a better understanding of this historic and vital estuary system. Data, Lesson Plans, Resources...lots of resource materials are provided here for your use in joining us on a virtual exploration of the river...and plan to join us on next October, 2011 for your own dip in the Hudson River as part of Snapshot Day 2011.
How can you get involved? Contact Margie Turrin of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, or Chris Bowser, or Steve Stanne of The Hudson River Estuary Program to learn more about this event.
