Activities included putting together a puzzle of the Hudson River in the Jay Mansion veranda and potting marigolds for Mother’s Day! There’s no better gift for Mother Earth than education! #environmentaleducation #sustainability

#Repost @sarahlawrencecollege (@get_repost) ・・・ For #EarthDay we spent the afternoon collecting glass eels at @slccurb with students from Yonkers and Westchester County Executive George Latimer. Glass eels come to the Hudson River from the Sargasso Sea and their population, size, and weight can tell us about the health of the river’s ecosystem. @westchester_county_government
CURB's Jason Muller had the pleasure of being the guest on tonight's “Dive into Life” with Melissa Lonquich on WVOX 1460. He discussed all things CURB and the Hudson River. #radio #CURB #wvox #hudsonriver #sarahlawrence
This time-lapse video from our marsh cam shows this morning's high tide flooding the marsh bridge. We are currently near a full moon, and with rain and onshore winds for the next few days, we expect higher than normal tides into early next week. #hudsonriver #tides #video #marshcam #spring #water #yonkers #newyork

#Repost @wavehill (@get_repost) ・・・ Yesterday, Wave Hill ventured upstream to @slccurb in Yonkers to participate in community science research as part of the Hudson River Eel project. Participants took part in every aspect of data collection, from environmental measurements such as water and air temperature, salinity and the current phase of the moon, to pulling up the fyke net and counting creatures caught. Tiny glass eels were separated by hand, counted and weighed, then released upstream to continue their northward journey. The final numbers: 129 glass eels, 4 grass shrimp and 9 mummichogs. Thanks to all who came! . . . #wavehill #nationalvolunteerweek #eels #communityscience #citizenscience #environmentaleducation #environmentalresearch #hudsonriver #hudsonrivereelproject #eelresearch
