HUDSON RIVER ADVOCATE RETIRES

Hudson Valley Sloop Clearwater bid farewell to Manna Jo Greene after 22 years with the nonprofit. Greene”™s ties to Clearwater extend well beyond her tenure as environmental action director. She was first introduced to the group at a Pete Seeger concert and went on to volunteer with Toshi Seeger as a “litter picker” at the Great Hudson River Revival for many years. Greene joined Clearwater”™s Board of Directors and stepped into her current role with the organization two years later. 

“I have been grateful for Manna”™s leadership as we”™ve navigated the changing environmental landscape together”¦we know that her commitment to making our communities cleaner, greener and safer will not end here,” said Executive Director David Toman.   She worked tirelessly to close Indian Point Power plant in Buchanan and her peers continue to work to protect the Hudson from the discharge of the wastewater by Holtec Corp. from the Buchanan plant into the river, currently put on hold after an outcry from county executives and environmentalists in the mid-Hudson region.
