Riverkeeper Sweep

May 2 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm

Join other concerned members of your community and thousands area-wide, collecting, and removing marine plastics and litter from our shores. Riverkeeper is committed to making and keeping the Hudson and its tributaries free of trash.

We will meet at Icahn Stadium and spread out into our marshes and along the shoreline, collecting trash, keeping data, and measuring our total impact. Annually volunteers remove hundreds of pounds of litter and plastics from our shores, getting them out of our water system permanently.
