Supporting the next generation of clean water stewards
October 1, 2026
Over six weeks this summer, students traced the route of Kingston's drinking water from its source downstream to the Hudson, learning about microplastics, wastewater treatment, and our state constitutional right to a healthy environment. They tested macroinvertebrates, screened for harmful bacteria, and met the people who keep these systems running.
Protecting the Hudson starts with understanding our relationship to the river, and these efforts are how we’re helping build the next generation of clean water advocates.
