Join Dr. Denise Mayer, Curator of Malacology at the New York State Museum and Director of the Museum’s Field Research Laboratory for a fascinating journey into the world of freshwater mussels. Dr. Mayer will share Museum/New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’'s recent survey efforts in the uppermost reaches of the Hudson River, from the headwaters at Lake Henderson to Queensbury. Discover the hidden ecosystems of these rarely explored sections of the river through footage from her fieldwork. Learn about the important role mussels play in keeping our waterways healthy and what we’ve uncovered about their populations in both the Adirondacks and downstream sections of the Hudson River. Bring your curiosity and your questions!
This family-friendly program is free!
