Join College Bound Kids, Boy Scouts, Sacred Heart Church Youth Ministry and Riverkeeper for a cleanup and site maintenance of Castleton-on-Hudson's Hudson River shoreline at Cow Island, the Sewage Treatment Plant, and Campbell Island on Saturday May 7, 2016 for the 5th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep, a day of service for the Hudson River. Volunteers will meet at the Sewage Treatment Plant next to Hamilton Printing on Route 9J in Castleton-on-Hudson. Parking will be available at Hamilton Printing (22 Hamilton Way, Castleton-on-Hudson, NY, 12033). We ask all Sweep volunteers to wear sturdy shoes or boots, clothing that they can get dirty, and to bring a hat, a reusable water bottle, and snacks. Boots are reccomended for the marsh areas. Due to the nature of this project, it is not suitable for elementary-aged children. Questions? Contact Riverkeeper at This email address is being protected from spambots.
