In support of the goal of the Hudson Fulton Champlain Quadricentennial Commission to advance a vision and practical agenda for the Hudson Valley, this project is sponsored by the Hudson River Watershed Alliance, a regional coalition of stakeholders working to protect, restore, and conserve the water resources of the Hudson and its tributaries, through information sharing and collaborative networking.
One Comment
“One of my colleagues coined the phrase ‘no child without wet feet.’ And I loved it because that kind of said it all.
This idea that the river really defines the experience of living, and working, and thriving, and flourishing in the region.
This sentence was one of the best I heard at the Hyde Park presentation.
Thank you for re-circulating it. I wholeheartedly share this vision. That is what we are working towards at Strawtown Studio. It was a great surprise to hear this said by John Haworth and team as the lead phrase for their goal setting mission. ‘No child without wet feet’, also says clean running streams and rivers. I love it.
