Dear Great River Sweep Volunteers,
You did it! Your record-setting effort benefited everyone in the Hudson Valley.
- More than 7,000 VOLUNTEERS in 109 COMMUNITIES
- 300 CLEANUPS from Manhattan to the Adirondacks
- 93 TONS of garbage removed from the Hudson River and its shorelines
We are grateful for support from Meryl Streep, Academy Award-winning actress, and Toni Morrison, Nobel laureate and Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Thanks also to Great River Sweep sponsors Pepsi, Tom's of Maine and Education Adventures.
Sincerely,
Andy, Joe, Molly, Susan and Yvette
BEST NEW HIKE IN THE HUDSON VALLEY
Maybe we are a little biased, but the views from our new Gateway to Mount Beacon Park, opened in May, are simply breathtaking. |

A favorite spot for filming silent movies in the 1920s, Mount Beacon once was home to one of the world's steepest incline railways. Give yourself a lift by climbing the new staircase built adjacent to the railway tracks.
ARE YOU A RIVER CHAMPION?
Make a $250 donation by Friday, June 17, for two tickets to our Sunday, June 26, River Champion reception at this beautiful new public park. |
