River Sweep Canoe Cleanup 9/30/23 

We're looking for 16 experienced paddlers to help us retrieve litter from the Hackensack River on our fleet of seven canoes.

We'll start our journey at Van Buskirk Island in Oradell and travel south to the boat launch in River Edge, collecting trash along the way. The trip is approximately 1.25 miles long, and we expect to be on the water for roughly four hours. 

We'll provide all the supplies, including canoes, life vests, paddles, trash bags, gloves, grabbers, and nets. The River Sweep is a point-to-point trip, which means we will start at one location and end at the other. Unfortunately, we can not provide transportation, so we'll ask that half the volunteers park in River Edge and carpool to Oradell. This way, at the end of the paddle, volunteers have a vehicle to drive them back to where we started.  

If you have any additional questions/concerns before the event, email Tyler at Outreach@Hackensackriverkeeper.org.

REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE ONCE 16 PADDLERS SIGN UP.

However, if you have your own boat and want to join us, please also email Tyler to let him know. We are not placing a limit on volunteers who wish to use their own kayak/canoes for this event, but want to keep track of everyone.
