Join the 13th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep, a day of service for the Hudson. With your help, to goal is to reach new communities, engage new volunteers, and restore additional stretches of shoreline. Is there a location in your community in need of cleanup, removal of invasive plants, or another type of restoration project?

Here are ways to get involved:

• • Organize a project. Interested in leading a project at a park or shoreline in your community? Submit the Sweep Leader Interest Form and Riverkeeper will reach out with more information about next steps.
  • Volunteer. Interested in registering for a site? Find a location near you and register here>
  • Be a sponsor. Do you own a business interested in helping restore the Hudson River? Email me at kleung@riverkeeper.org for more information about sponsoring the 2024 Riverkeeper Sweep.
  • Sweep Expansion. Riverkeeper is making the Sweep a year-round program, and plan to organize several more projects per month. These projects will have a special focus on invasive species removal and tree planting. Do you have a vegetation project in mind or know someone who is interested in leading one? Please submit you interest on the Sweep Expansion Interest Form.

Over the last 12 years, Sweep leaders have completed 1,199 service projects, bringing together thousands of volunteers from NYC to the Adirondacks to clean up 355 tons of debris, and plant or maintain 7,130 native plants. This incredible effort is made possible by the generosity of our members, sponsors, and supporters. If you would like to support the continued growth of the Riverkeeper Sweep, please consider making a donation. Contributions of any amount are meaningful.
