DESCRIPTION: May 2, 2026, 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm\n\nJoin Hudson River Park's River Project and Riverkeeper for a cleanup project at Gansevoort Peninsula from 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm for the 15th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep. This is a rain or shine event.\n\nVolunteers will meet at Gansevoort Peninsula, 427-429 Gansevoort St, New York, NY 10014. Volunteers will meet park staff at the southwest corner of the peninsula, just past the sandy area, near the boat launch ramp. Park staff will have a branded Hudson River Park tent and tablecloths. At this tent, volunteers will be able to sign in, grab PPE, and stow belongings before getting started with shoreline cleanup. There is no parking available on site. Street parking is available in the surrounding area, but may is usually very limited. We recommend traveling to the site using public transit if possible.\n\nWe recommend all Sweep volunteers to bring a hat, sunscreen, a full reusable water bottle, insect repellent, work gloves and hand sanitizer. Hudson River Park requires shoreline cleanup volunteers to wear close toed shoes, ideally with good grip as we are working on a rocky riprap shoreline. Other required and recommended PPE will be provided on site.\n\nThis site is not suitable for elementary-aged children.\n\nQuestions? Contact Riverkeeper at sweep@riverkeeper.org or Toland Kister at tkister@hrpt.ny.gov or 929-797-0637.\n\n*IMPORTANT! To ensure the safety of volunteers, Sweep Site Leaders, professional staff, and our communities, we ask that volunteers adhere to the following guidelines:\n\nVolunteers are required to pre-register for Sweep.\nVolunteers should not participate if they have ANY signs of illness.\n\n \nOver the last 14 years, Sweep leaders have completed 1,463 projects, bringing together thousands of volunteers from NYC to the Adirondacks to clean up 404 tons of debris, and plant and maintain 11,425 native trees, shrubs, and flowers. This incredible effort is made possible by the generosity of Riverkeeper's members, sponsors, and donors. If you would like to support the continued growth of the Riverkeeper Sweep, please consider joining Riverkeeper or making a donation. Contributions of any amount are meaningful.\n       \n \n\n \n\nFor details, click here: https://engage.riverkeeper.org/component/events/event/17
