HEALING HUDSON BY SELVA OZELLI FOR PUTNAM HISTORY MUSEUM WORLD MARITIME DAY EVENT FOR CWNYC 

The Hudson River Valley is one of the America's most important scenic, cultural, economic, and historic regions. As part of the Climate Week NYC September 22-29 events which is for the first time celebrated New York State wide this year, on World Maritime Day September 26, 2024 I will give an hour long speech at the Putnam History Museum that is hosting my Healing Hudson Art Show. My talk will focus on the importance of the Hudson Valley in the environmental movement in the US and incorporate information about Scenic Hudson, Clearwater as well as videos to highlight the global initiatives of the Group of Friends - Culture-Based Climate Action Plans from Asia, Australia, Europe, Middle East and Southeast Asia.
