CESH faculty members Gabriel Perron and Eli Dueker, and Bard Alum Beckett Lansbury ’16 recently published a groundbreaking study outlining the connection between bacteria in the freshwaters of the Saw Kill and the leaves of trees along the waterway.

This work was funded by the Hudson River Foundation’s Polgar Fund and the Bard Summer Research Institute.
