The Hudson River and its nearby waterways are lifelines connecting us to each other and our local ecosystems. We delight in ice floes cracking in the winter air, eagles hunting along a river's shores, and spending a warm afternoon on a lake's cooling waters. Most importantly, they sustain life. But these essential water sources–and our lives along them–face a host of challenges amid the changing climate.

Riverkeeper president Tracy Brown has a unique understanding of the tests to come. She will share her perspective in the talk, "Drought and Deluge: What the Future of Water Looks Like for the Hudson Valley," followed by a Q&A.

Tracy Brown became President and Hudson Riverkeeper at the environmental protection NGO 'Riverkeeper' in 2021. A recognized leader in clean water advocacy, she brings a multidisciplinary approach to her work, prioritizing data-driven, community-oriented strategies to protect and restore the Hudson River from source to sea. During her tenure as President, she has helped expand Riverkeeper's iconic water quality monitoring program, grown its fleet of boats engaged in patrol and science work on the River, spearheaded the passage of key environmental legislation, and helped lead the formation of the Westchester Coalition for Clean Water—a group of organizations committed to working together to make sure Westchester County's waterways are clean and healthy.

Our webinar will run on Thursday, May 15th, from 8:30-9:30 AM. PCA's Matt Stinchcomb moderates. Please register to attend.
