14th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep
Save Saturday, May 3, to join the 14th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep. With your help, we aim to reach new communities, engage new volunteers, and restore additional stretches of shoreline in the Hudson River watershed.
At last year’s Riverkeeper Sweep, our annual day of service for the Hudson, more than 2,000 volunteers removed 23 tons of debris from hundreds of miles of shoreline from NYC to the Adirondacks — in just one day! With your help, we also expanded Sweep into a year-round program that we’re calling Sweep+, and our goal is to grow it until it becomes the largest volunteer cleanup program in New York State.
Organize a project. Interested in leading a project at a park or shoreline in your community? Submit the Sweep leader interest form and we’ll be in touch.
Suggest a location. Is there a park or shoreline in your community in need of a cleanup? If you know of any areas that are overrun with litter or invasive plants, let us know.
Volunteer. Interested in pitching in? Submit the volunteer interest form to receive updates about where, when, and how you can contribute.
