  • Hello ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!
    In today's video I return to the Hudson River culvert with a chainsaw to remove the logs blocking the entrance. I hope you all enjoy this video.

    I want to add a note of explanation here because I live near the river. He mentioned tides. The lower half of the Hudson River is actually an estuary of the Atlantic Ocean, so it has 2 tides per day. The river flows mostly in eastern New York State, dividing New York and New Jersey and flowing into the ocean.

      Flows into the Ocean, possible logs could be a shipping hazard?

    I can’t complement you highly enough for the extremely hard work you put into clearing that culvert. Your determination and commitment to complete that task is just awe inspiring. I hope you felt a huge sense of pride in what you accomplished.

    So many of us including myself see things around us that we feel need addressing and we complain about it but never do anything. If we all started doing just a little bit more to address these issues we’d be in a much better world.

    Nice work. As a suggestion for the culverts that you visit multiple times, it would be nice if you did a short clip show at the end showing how the culvert looked before and after each of the previous visits, as well as the current visit.

    Will be interesting to see how it progresses over time and to see how the flow of the river moves more mud and sticks from the mouth of the culvert.
