Out on Piermont Pier to Explore the Hudson River Ecosystem

Pearl River High School students worked with Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory scientists in a day of field science Oct. 21 as part of the annual Day in the Life of the Hudson River.

More than a field trip, “Day in the Life” trains students to use hands-on field techniques to describe their communities’ natural resources, and explore how their piece of the river fits into the larger ecosystem. Initial findings are posted online within a few days of the event.

Pearl River joined thousands of students from Manhattan to Troy this year.
