TURNING THE TIDE / Travel the Marsh

TURNING THE TIDE takes the viewer into two "urban wetlands" in the most densely-populated state in the nation, New Jersey. The Hackensack Meadowlands and the Hamilton-Trenton Marsh were once used as landfills, but today they are being slowly nursed back to health through conservation measures. TIDE was awarded a CINE Gold Eagle and a World Medal at the New York Festivals.
This is an online video piece I edited after the 30-minute program was completed. It follows a typical tour into the Hamilton-Trenton Marsh from a landing in Bordentown, New Jersey, where kayaks and canoes go in with the tide and then return with the tide's change. Prof. Mary Leck is a great guide and tours happen often.
