Keeping Our Streams Clean: 2018 Fall Waterways Cleanup in Rockland

Four events are currently scheduled throughout the county and along the Hudson River during September and October, with more to come, for Keep Rockland Beautiful's Fall Waterways Cleanup. The organization collaborates with community partners, including the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, the Sparkill Creek Watershed Alliance, and various other groups to make a difference in Rockland’s most heavily littered areas.

The Fall Waterways Cleanup communicates the importance of clean waterways and natural resource protection through its coined-phrase, “Clean Streets = Clean Streams.”

Concerned scout leader and Keep Rockland Beautiful volunteer Jen Servidio explains why keeping our community clean is important: “To help keep our neighborhoods clean, to teach future generations the importance of being responsible for our Earth, and to educate them about the environment.”

Keep Rockland Beautiful leads efforts to clean, protect, and beautify Rockland’s environment by educating and empowering people to share in the care and stewardship of our communities.
