SUMMARY:Riverkeeper Day of Service
DESCRIPTION:In just four years\, the annual Riverkeeper Sweep has grown from 30 clean-up and stewardship sites in 2012 to 100 — and possibly more — this year.\nAs more people become engaged in restoring the Hudson River and its tributaries\, the Sweep — to be held on Saturday\, May 9 — will make a visible impact in communities from Red Hook in South Brooklyn to Troy in the Capital District. Registration is open at www.riverkeeper.org/sweep. Volunteers will be provided with gloves and trash bags.\nIn the first three years of the Sweep\, volunteers removed more than 75 tons of trash from our shorelines\, planted or maintained hundreds of shoreline trees\, and performed other service projects to improve public access to the Hudson River and its tributaries.\nDana Gulley\, Riverkeeper’s Manager of Strategic Partnerships\, Outreach and Volunteer Programs\, said: “Sweep volunteers remove items big and small\, from tiny pieces of broken down Styrofoam to discarded tires and plastic lawn furniture. Removing these items from our shoreline and waterways not only protects wildlife and the ecology of our rivers and streams\, but also works to reduce future dumping and littering.”\nThe Sweep is powered by more than 100 partnerships including schools\, scout troops\, businesses and community groups. Some 150 local Sweep leaders help drive volunteerism. Examples of new sites and partnerships include:\nThe New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Hudson River Estuary Program’s “Trees for Tribs” initiative\, which focuses on tree-planting to improve water quality and habitat. This brings the Sweep further north and deeper into the watershed with two tree planting projects and six tree-maintenance projects along several Hudson tributaries.\nIn Brooklyn\, Riverkeeper has several new Sweep sites this year\, including the East River State Park\, Newtown Creek and the Thomas Greene Playground on the Gowanus Canal. (The waters around New York City\, including the East and Harlem Rivers\, the Newtown Creek and Gowanus Canal\, are part of the Hudson River Estuary.)\nIn Rockland County\, Riverkeeper continues its partnership with Keep Rockland Beautiful and will add Emeline Park and Bowline Park to the county’s Sweep sites. Rockland sites are also being sponsored by the newly-formed Rockland Water Task Force this year.\nIn 2015\, Riverkeeper has partnered with several land conservancies\, including the Greene Land Trust\, Columbia Land Conservancy\, the Westchester Land Trust and the Rensselaer Land Trust.\n“The Riverkeeper Sweep is a wonderful opportunity to partner with other organizations that are about protecting our watershed and waterways\,” said Sonia Cairo\, Keep Rockland Beautiful’s Executive Director. “We are pleased to have five sites in Rockland this year where volunteers can participate in the clean-up. The Sweep also helps draw attention to the important link between our storm drains and our waterways.”\nAt least eleven local breweries have signed on as partners this year\, offering a post-event beverage to volunteers.\nThe Sweep is the signature New York event in the Waterkeeper Alliance SPLASH Series\, presented by Toyota and designed to connect people to their waterways. Other sponsors include the Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation\, Rocket Fuel\, Ironshore\, EILEEN FISHER\, Paragon Sports\, Sprout Watches\, VOS Selections\, JSA Financial\, Orvis\, the Johnny Mac Tennis Project\, Pleasant Valley Stone and these individuals: Joe and Daryl Boren\, and John and Gillett Gilbert. \nPhoto courtesy of: www.riverkeeper.org/sweep

SUMMARY:Hurricane Sandy anniversary planting in the Rockaways
DESCRIPTION:For the two year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy\, Rockaway Waterfront Alliance (RWA) is bringing people of all ages together to create a nature protective buffer for the Rockaway community. \nAs we learned from the storm\, the natural vegetation and dunes that exist off our shores served as a protective buffer to the homes and businesses that exist in these areas. Many of these dunes were compromised by the storm and need to be replenished to be effective. \nFamilies and people of all ages are welcome to participate in this dune restoration planting & biomimicry project. Students can receive community service hours. No registration is required. This event is rain or shine\, so please dress accordingly. \nSpecial thanks to NY State Department of Environmental Conservation and National Fish & Wildlife Foundation for their support. \nFor more Rockaway Waterfront Alliance events\, visit the organization’s website. \nSource: New York City Parks Department

SUMMARY:New York Restoration Project and Sustainable South Bronx Tree Care Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: http://www.bronxriver.org \nSummer is already here! With sticky humid days on the horizon\, it’s important to note that\, near a tree\, the temperature difference between shaded and non-shaded ground can be as much as 36°F. That translates into a safer\, more enjoyable environment. Placed carefully\, trees can also make all the difference in the energy bills of nearby residents. Come find out for yourself and help New York Restoration Project & Sustianble South Bronx to take care of this beautiful resource. Attendees will be cultivating\, mulching\, pruning\, watering\, and cleaning the major tree pits bordering the Hunts Point Recreation Center and major walking routes. \nVolunteers of all ages and experience levels are welcome to join the workshop. Volunteers 18 and over must sign a waiver\, and youth must be accompanied by an adult. \nSnacks\, refreshments\, gloves\, and tools will be provided\, but be prepared to get a little bit dirty. \nContact: Our Volunteer Coordinator by phone: 646-400-5436 or e-mail: Volunteer@SSBx.org
