Hudson River Watershed Group Meeting & Sail
On July 1, the Hudson River Watershed Alliance (HRWA) and the NYS DEC
Hudson River Estuary Program (HREP) co-sponsored a summit of watershed
groups and resource providers working in the Hudson River watershed.
More than 45 representatives gathered at the Beacon Sloop Club in
Beacon, NY, to share success stories, discuss challenges, and learn what
other groups are doing to protect the tributaries and the sub-basins of
the Hudson River watershed. After the meeting and lunch, participants
boarded the sloop Clearwater for an afternoon on the Hudson River. By
providing this networking opportunity, organizers intended to prevent
duplication of efforts and to determine what other resources and tools
both HRWA and HREP can provide that will assist in furthering protection
efforts. |
