Honoring our foundation in science
At this time, I have the honor of serving as the Hudson Riverkeeper, leading a team of 30 dedicated environmental experts who have the trust of our community and decision makers across New York State and beyond. We have earned that trust by remaining true to the integrity of our founder, Bob Boyle, basing our work in science, law, and advocacy.
