Opportunity Details

Beach and Litter Cleanup at Croton Point Park

At this cleanup at beautiful Croton Point Park on the Hudson River, volunteers can choose to do litter cleanup around the park and beach, or remove invasive vines to help restore the 19th century wine cellars of the historic Underhill Vineyards.

Volunteers must be at least 14 years old, or 5-13 years old with an adult and signed Youth Waiver to participate in this event. Volunteers under the age of 12 will conduct litter pickup to keep this special park clean and pristine! Wear closed toe shoes, long sleeves, long pants and items you do not mind getting dirty. Bring a reusable water bottle. Tools, gloves, and instruction will be provided. A volunteer waiver form will be provided at check-in and must be signed by each volunteer prior to starting work.

PARKING: As you enter the park, let the parking attendant know you are volunteering with Westchester Parks Foundation so you are not charged for parking. Continue on the main drive and at the fork bear right. You will reach a large parking lot. Continue around the corner to the far side of the parking lot and park near the covered picnic pavilion. Proceed to the WPF table where you will sign in with WPF. This project is a part of 9/11: Serve + Remember.
