The Nature of Nature: Biodiversity in the Hudson Valley
An ode to the remarkable variety of life in the Hudson River estuary watershed, The Nature of Nature: Biodiversity in the Hudson Valley celebrates the living fabric of the region’s unique landscape. From high elevation forests to the globally rare tidal marshes along the Hudson estuary, the 30-minute documentary film captures the beautiful, the complex, the familiar, and the unknown…guided by the plants, animals, and people that call the Hudson Valley home.
