2025 Hudson River Symposium: State of Aquatic Habitat Restoration

During this symposium we will explore current restoration efforts and lessons learned before diving into the programs and challenges shaping restoration on the Hudson River today. The afternoon will be devoted to exploring ways to better align restoration programs to have a positive impact in a rapidly changing environment. We will seek ideas from participants on how restoration could address the challenges of climate change, sea level rise, and changing biodiversity.
