NYSG and Partners Make a Splash with Project WET’s Discover the Hudson River
Any way you look at the Hudson River watershed, it’s big. It covers an area as large as the states of Connecticut and Massachusetts combined, flows 315 miles from its head waters in Lake Tear of the Clouds high in the Adirondack Mountains all the way to the New York-New Jersey Harbor, is as deep as 175 feet at World’s End near West Point and as wide as 3.5 miles at Haverstraw Bay.
So begins the journey that unfolds in Discover the Hudson River, a newly-available16-page color booklet designed for teachers and students in the upper elementary grades (5-6 grades). Available free to coastal educators for a limited time only, this Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) Foundation activity booklet for kids 8-12 is a unique resource for learning about New York’s Hudson River.
