Caring for the Waters We Share
 During one week in April, we pay special attention to our Hudson River Valley environment: the tidal Hudson, local streams, woodlands, parks, waterfronts, and tidal marshes. However, the work of caring for the land and waters around us is a daily effort. Environmental organizations, research institutions, colleges and universities, watershed groups, local officials, and community volunteers all help to conserve, restore, and protect these special places.
Read Making a Difference for the Hudson River Estuary (PDF) about the progress DEC and its partners have made during the past 30 years, and the daily steps that we take to ensure a clean, accessible, and inviting river for those who live and work in the communities along its waters. Take time this week to visit a riverfront park, hike a trail along the Hudson’s shore, set off from one of its boat launches, take in the view from a scenic overlook, or cruise its waters on a tour boat. |
