• You are welcome to bring your own work gloves and grabber if you prefer.

WALK:
After the cleanup, we'll enjoy a scenic walk through Inwood Hill Park and stop for lunch near Isham St and the Saturday farmers market. We’ll then continue south along the Hudson River Greenway, finishing at the 145th Street subway station (1 train - with A,B,C,D close by).

GOOD TO KNOW:

• Bring water and lunch.
• Wear sneakers or sturdy shoes (we will not enter the river to remove trash).
• In case of thunderstorm or extreme heat, the Inwood Canoe Club will make a cancellation decision closer to the event date.
