Any high school or undergraduate student is eligible to apply. Applicants are evaluated mainly on their desire to do field and laboratory research. We do not assess applicants based on grades or test scores. Staff will make arrangements for students who need transportation to Norrie Point. If this sounds like a great way to spend two weeks of your summer, we would love to work with you! The application deadline is May 13, 2022. Learn more at the Hudson River National Estuarine Research Research Reserve website. May 5 Webinar: Climate Act Draft Scoping Plan
Maureen Leddy will describe the statutory requirements, the process of developing the draft scoping plan, and opportunities to provide input to the final plan. The presentation will include an overview of the various strategies recommended by the Council to achieve the required greenhouse gas reductions, with a focus on strategies related to land use, and recommendations related to climate change adaptation for ecosystems. Webinar attendees will receive an email confirming attendance after each webinar, which may be submitted locally for municipal planning or zoning board training credit.
