Clean Sanctuary Campaign
09:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Hudson River Park's Pier 54 just south of 14th Street
Sponsors: Friends of Hudson River Park & Hudson River Park Trust
Join Friends and the Hudson River Park Trust in our efforts to help care for the more than 400 acres of water in Hudson River Park's Estuarine Sanctuary. The Clean Sanctuary Campaign has been created to remove debris from the river as floatables arrive daily with the tide. We will provide skimmers, telescoping hook poles, trash bags and gloves.
Volunteers will meet staff at Hudson River Park's Pier 54, just one block south of 14th Street and the West Side Highway and then proceed to the Gansevoort Peninsula for further instructions.
You must be 18 years of age to volunteer for these clean-ups. Sturdy footwear with deep treads and long pants are required. Dress for weather and don't forget sunscreen!
Registration is required. If you are interested in joining our clean-up efforts, please contact us at volunteer@fohrp.org .
