The Hudson River Field Station welcomes the newest

The Hudson River Field Station welcomes the newest addition to the family: a model Atlantic Sturgeon! We worked with a taxidermist/artist (📷#2) to create a model of the iconic Atlantic sturgeon to be on display at the Field Station at the end of Piedmont Pier.
•
Atlantic sturgeon are an anadromous migratory species, which means they are born in freshwater and migrate out to the ocean to live the majority of their adult lives before they return to the freshwater to spawn themselves. Our section of the Hudson is a particularly important habitat for Atlantic sturgeon as they spend much of their 6 years of life in the wide and shallow Haverstraw Bay area. We are thrilled to be able to showcase this beautiful piece of artwork and use this model to educate students and the public about the unique creatures that call the Hudson their home! 🐟🌊

Each October for the past 18 years, students, scie

Each October for the past 18 years, students, scientists, and educators have turned their attention to the Hudson River for an event called A Day in theLife if the Hudson and Harbor. @columbialamontearth has partnered with the @nysdec Hudson River Estuary Program over those years to coordinate this event which has hosted 56,000 people at the River! This year, we worked with about 35 professional partner organizations to be the students eyes and ear by virtually capturing one or more sites on film that will be built into three separate explorations of various parts of the estuary. The videos will be a long lasting legacy form this year’s event, allowing us to reach students anywhere, and over a much longer period of time. We are so fortunate to have a wonderful network of Hudson educators to make this possible!
