River Connections: 2024 Riverkeeper and Water Justice Lab Celebration

November 9 @ 4:00 pm 7:30 pm EST

two silhouetted figures stand on the shore of a river, rough gravel and rocks on the shore and glassy wide river and blue sky behind them.

Riverkeeper and NATURE Lab welcome the public, along with our community science volunteers, fellows, family and friends to join us for River Connections: Celebrating the Cultural and Ecological Tapestry of the Hudson River Valley. Marking the close of the fifth season of Water Justice Lab, the event features a NATURE Lab Open House followed by a community meal and reception. Activities will include researcher and youth fellow presentations, an Eco-Art Trail tour, and Microplastics: A BioArt Exhibition viewing. We are grateful to share our work on environmental justice, art, culture, ecology, history, and science with the support of the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area.
