mannahatta resources

cool Hudson river environmental resources:

Clearwater!
HYPERLINK "http://www.clearwater.org/education/" http://www.clearwater.org
A great environmental organization built around a working, sailing replica of a 200 year-old ship! Public sailing programs, environmental advocacy, and Pete Seeger!

Hudson River Museum!
HYPERLINK http://www.hrm.org/" http://www.hrm.org/
A museum for all ages and curiosity categories:
Art Peeps: cool art museum, check out the Hudson River School fall show until January 26.
Science Geeks: a permanent, kid-friendly but adult-engaging exhibition on the Hudson as an ecological entity.
Steam Punks: a super decked-out Victorian style mansion you can peruse. It’s nuts. Ask Matt Cleary.

The New York/New Jersey Trail Conference
HYPERLINK http://www.nynjtc.org/content/where-you-can-go-bus-or-train
An awesome nature resource in many regards. They make great trail maps. They maintain trails and you can volunteer to help them do so. And they have a section of their website devoted to public-transit accessible hiking. Bouldering too.... rock on.

Fireboat.org
HYPERLINK http://www.fireboat.org
An historic fireboat that is super cool, and offers free rides up and down the Hudson when weather permits (all seasons ‘cept winter.) Check the “calendar” option of their website when the weather warms.

Hudson Highlands
HYPERLINK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_Highlands
My mecca. I’ll take you hiking there if you want. Or explore on your own. You can’t go wrong. See NY/NJ Trail Conference for some great topographical maps of the area.
