Everett Nack Estuary Education Center Inaugural Event:

Join us for the Grand opening event of our new

mobile estuary education center! 

June 4, 2023

10am-1pm at the Henry Hudson Riverfront Park

Educator: Chris Nack

Try out our microscopes while learning about the American shad (Alosa sapidissima), an important member of our Hudson River’s ecosystem. Shad are currently in the beginning stages of their life cycle and we will gather the larvae and check them out under the microscope while learning about the fish’s historical and ecological importance.  

This event will be led by biologist and educator Chris Nack, who is the grandson of the celebrated fisherman and conservationist, Everett Nack. The profound influence of Everett Nack's activism in the Hudson River has inspired the Hudson Sloop Club’s mission of access, education and stewardship. We look forward to introducing you to the Everett Nack Estuary Education Center! 

This event is free, family friendly, and open to everyone. 

Pastries and coffee will be provided by Supernatural Coffee.
