15th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep
2026-05-02 10:00 - 12:00 | Losee Park Kayak Ramp, Green Street, Tarrytown, 10591, United States
Join Riverkeeper and TEAC to clean your local shoreline during this annual day of service for the Hudson River at 100 locations along the Hudson River from New York City to the Adirondacks with many Westchester projects!
Each year on the first Saturday in May, more than 2,000 volunteers come together across hundreds of miles of shoreline in New York City and the Hudson Valley for Riverkeeper Sweep, a day of service for the Hudson River. Volunteers clean up tons of trash, plant trees, and remove invasive plant species.
Over 14 years, Sweep volunteers have completed 1,463 projects and removed 396 tons of debris, including 2,352 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.
Read more about this event by visiting Riverkeeper.org/sweep. Volunteers must register in advance. Westchester project locations include:
Tarrytown: Losee Park Lot G
Sleepy Hollow: Sleepy Hollow Riverwalk Cleanup
