Join Fall Kill Creative Works for a cleanup at Fall Kill Creek from 10 AM to 1 PM for the 14th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep. This is a rain or shine event.
Volunteers will meet along Fall Kill Creek, at Brookside Avenue and Washington Street in Poughkeepsie, NY 1260. Street parking is available along Brookside Ave.
We recommend that all Sweep volunteers bring a hat, sunscreen, a full reusable water bottle, insect repellent (particularly tick prevention), work gloves, reacher-grabber tools, and hand sanitizer.

*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.
