May 3, 2025 from 9 AM to 11 AM
Join Mid Hudson Chapter of Trout Unlimited for a cleanup of Crum Elbow Creek Fishing Access for the 14th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep. This is a rain or shine event.
Volunteers will meet at the parking lot of Teixeira's Polaris, 1680 NY-9G, Hyde Park, NY 12538. Park in lot as far from the store entrance as possible. We will go to cleanup site after everyone has arrived.
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 wear long pants and long sleeves to avoid poison ivy and ticks.
This site is not suitable for elementary-aged children with adult supervision.

*IMPORTANT! To ensure the safety of volunteers, Sweep Site Leaders, professional staff, and our communities, we ask that volunteers adhere to the following guidelines:
- Volunteers are required to pre-register for Sweep.
- Volunteers should not participate if they have ANY signs of illness.
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.
