Each year on the first Saturday in May, more than 2,500 volunteers come together across hundreds of miles of shoreline in New York City and the Hudson Valley for a day of service for the Hudson River. Volunteers clean up tons of trash, plant trees, and remove invasive plant species. Come out and clean your local shoreline during this annual day of service for the Hudson!

Over 13 years, Sweep volunteers have completed 1,199 projects and removed 355 tons of debris, including 2,089 tires, and planted or maintained thousands of trees and shrubs. Once-neglected areas have gained year-round stewards, and rivers and creeks are better for it. Volunteers must register in advance. Have fun and help take care of the river!
