Join Mid Hudson Chapter Trout Unlimited for a cleanup of Fishkill Creek at the Route 52 & Route 82 intersection from 9 AM to 12 PM for the 14th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep. This is a rain or shine event.
Volunteers will meet at 1610 NY-52, Fishkill, New York 12524. Park at Convenient Deli Mart, away from the store entrance.
We recommend that all Sweep volunteers bring a hat, sunscreen, a full reusable water bottle, insect repellent, work gloves and hand sanitizer. We suggest wearing long pants and long sleeves to prevent exposure to poison ivy or ticks.

Over the last 13 years, Sweep leaders have completed 1,349 service projects, bringing together thousands of volunteers from NYC to the Adirondacks to clean up 382 tons of debris, and plant or maintain 8,851 native plants. 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 making a donation. Contributions of any amount are meaningful.
