November 13, 2023: Hudson: The Story of a River, by Scott and Denise Stoner
New York’s iconic Hudson River changes dramatically as it journeys 315 miles from the Adirondacks to New York Harbor. This photo tour highlights its development from a tiny, shallow, rocky stream to a raging freshwater river to a tidal estuary below Troy. We’ll pass its deepest and widest points; view it from boats, shorelines, and mountains; and observe the wildlife and habitats along its course as it passes through forest, field, marshland, and cities large and small. We’ll take in the dramatic human history of this great river as well, observing its role in art, transportation, and industry and pondering its fundamental role in America’s environmental movement. Join us for this special look at “the river that flows both ways.”
