Welcome to the Changing Hudson Project, a web-based curriculum designed by teachers and scientists to engage students in exciting, innovative science connecting them with current research about the Hudson River. The CHP is a curriculum based in modules which focuses on the Hudson River Estuary ecosystem. The lessons and resources are geared towards high school and community college teachers. Each lesson is aligned with state and national standards and follows an inquiry-based format. If you are a teacher in the Hudson River Estuary watershed and would like to be involved, look for information in the Teacher Corner.

The CHP is supported by a grant from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Hudson River Estuary Grants Program and the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.
