Cary Institute and Scenic Hudson have teamed up to study how plants, animals, and people are impacted as green spaces change over time in three Hudson Valley cities — Kingston, Newburgh, and Poughkeepsie. The project is called Defining Urban Biodiversity.
In their last blog post, Cary Institute’s Shannon LaDeau explained the potential ecological importance of greening efforts in cities, and how local residents and community organizations can get involved. In this blog post, learn why this research matters for urban planning and conservation.
