DESCRIPTION: May 2, 2026, 10:00 am to 1:00 pm\n\n\nJoin Friends of + POOL, Riverkeeper, and Parks and Trails New York (PTNY) for a cleanup project at East River Esplanade from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm for the 15th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep and PTNY's I Love My Park Day.\n\nThis location is one of a select number of official dual Riverkeeper Sweep + I Love My Park Day sites, bringing volunteers together to protect our waterways while caring for our parks and trails. This is a rain or shine event.\n\nVolunteers will meet at Pier 35, Please meet at the end of the pier closest to the walking path, at benches. Parking is not recommended near site.\n\nWe recommend all Sweep volunteers to bring a hat, sunscreen, a full reusable water bottle, insect repellent, work gloves and hand sanitizer.\n\nThis site is suitable for elementary-aged children with adult supervision.\n\nQuestions? Contact Riverkeeper at sweep@riverkeeper.org or Nora Cronin at programs@pluspool.com or 347-881-7688.\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\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.
