Click here to hear Eli Schloss’ invitation to join Clearwater at our September Tideline Programs where you can develop your own “sense of place”.

The public is welcome and invited to two free programs hosted by Clearwater this September and taking place at Esopus Meadows Preserve near Kingston, NY. These family-friendly programs will offer an opportunity to learn about river flora and fauna and take a hike to learn about the ancient geologic forces that shaped the environment we see today. These outdoor family events are appropriate for all ages and provide a fun and relaxed way to learn about the Hudson River. Sponsored by Hudson River Sloop Clearwater and Hudson Valley Ramble
