Red Hook: Advanced Volunteer Trip - 11.5 miles total

Join Riverkeeper, Ke Aloha Outrigger, and Hoboken Cove Community Boathouse for a cleanup of Hoboken's Maxwell Beach for the Annual Riverkeeper Sweep, a day of service for the Hudson River and its tributaries.

Volunteers will meet in front of the boathouse facing Maxwell Beach. We ask all Sweep volunteers to wear sturdy shoes or boots, clothing that they can get dirty, and bring a hat, sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and snacks. Work or garden gloves are also very helpful. This site is suitable for elementary-aged children with proper adult supervision.

Riverkeeper Sweep Beach Cleanup

Hi everyone!

We’re excited to announce that our annual boathouse party will be on **Saturday, May 2 at 5:30pm** at bwé kafé (uptown location in Hoboken). All active volunteers from the 2025 season are invited!

We’ll have catered food, so please mention in the RSVP questionnaire if you have any dietary restrictions!

This will be a BYOB event - just a reminder that anything you bring in, you’ll need to bring out.

We’re really looking forward to celebrating together, sharing some updates about the upcoming season, recapping this past year (including a financial overview), and just spending time with this amazing community. Can’t wait to see you all there! 🎉
