Joseph Squillante Celebrates 50 Years of Hudson River Photography

Joseph Squillante, a Peekskill photographer, will present 'Our Hudson River: 50-Year Photographic Journey' on March 22, 2025, at the Beczak Environmental Education Center in Yonkers, celebrating his five-decade passion for capturing the Hudson River's beauty and environmental significance. The presentation will highlight the river's origins, its scenic landscapes, and the ongoing conservation efforts to address environmental challenges. In addition to this event, the Hudson Valley region offers various spring activities including visits to LEGOLAND, hiking at Bear Mountain State Park, and cultural experiences at the Storm King Art Center. Despite some recent adverse weather conditions, community events like St. Patrick's Day celebrations showcased the area's resilient spirit. The Hudson River continues to play a vital role in both recreational activities and regional economic growth, evidenced by recent developments like the auction of The Lumberyard in Catskill. As local attractions reopen for spring, the opportunity for exploration along the river is expanding.
