- Do you love and cherish that little piece of paradise in Hudson called SANDY BEACH??
- Do you want it preserved in its pristine state for yourselves, your children, and for future generations??
- Do you want this beautiful oasis of tranquility turned into a residential development??
- Do you want to see the wetlands backfilled to support this construction, destroying the habitat of the varied flora and fauna that call the area home??
If you care about the future of SANDY BEACH, care deeply about the effects of climate change, and would like to support us in our mission to find a viable alternative solution to residential construction on this land, please join us for an information meeting (free of charge):
