Ever wondered what happens to plastic after you've thrown it away? Plastic can break down and end up in the Hudson River, in tiny pieces, undetectable to the human eye. Come join us to learn how the staff at Norrie Point Environmental Center conducts plastics research, and what you can do to help!

During this guided program, we’ll explore Five Rivers by moonlight. We’ll watch and listen for creatures of the night. Distance covered will be one to two miles.

Space is limited. Call 518-475-0291 by the Tuesday before each Ramble to register.
