Volunteers Needed!
Please join in to help make our riverfront more navigable and clear this invasive, non-native plant!

Sturdy sneakers, long sleeved shirts, long pants and work gloves are a MUST.
Under 18 must be closely supervised by their parents.
No Rain date has been scheduled
Do you like being on the water? Don't mind getting your hands wet? Want to help rid the Hudson of bad neighbors, and regain access to the river? No, not people, we're talking about water chestnuts. We need help pulling these weeds from the water where they grow uncontrollably and choke out other plant and aquatic life. Remember to bring sturdy sneakers, long pants, and gloves. Refreshments donated by local businesses are available to all volunteers.
