Riverkeeper will make a presentation about water quality testing results from the Hudson River and its tributaries, at a public meeting hosted by the Mid Hudson Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club.
Riverkeeper conducts the most extensive water quality monitoring in the Hudson River estuary and its tributaries. The data is publicly available at riverkeeper.org/water-quality and is used to educate people about recreational use of the water, and to inform decision-makers about needed investments to improve water quality.
The chapter’s board of directors meet at 2 p.m. Riverkeeper’s presentation begins at 3 p.m. Guests are invited to stay for an optional dinner at 4:30 p.m., at a cost of $25.50.
