Additional details
We need someone to design one poster urging volunteers to sign up for the 100+ shoreline cleanups and other service projects along the Hudson River, its tributaries and the shorelines of NYC - all happening on May 2, 2020, as part of the 9th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep. This project will save us $2,500+, allowing us to attract thousands of volunteers for the 9th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep and continue a massive effort to clean up and restore the Hudson River.
What we have in place
- We currently have style guide, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have past examples, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,244 , allowing us to devote more resources to engaging communities throughout the valley.
Riverkeeper Sweep, a one-day annual event, makes a visible and lasting difference for the health of the Hudson River Estuary and its tributaries. Each year the volunteers pick up many tons of trash from the shorelines, including plastic, tires, foam and other debris. They also clear invasive species and plant healthy vegetation. Volunteers are inspired to get more involved and do more to restore their local shorelines and waterways.

Our mission
Our Mission: To protect the environmental, recreational and commercial integrity of the Hudson River and its tributaries, and safeguard the drinking water of nine million New York City and Hudson Valley residents.
Our Vision: The Hudson River and the NYC Watershed are healthy ecosystems teeming with life. Residents and visitors care for and help protect these ecosystems, which provide safe drinking water and abundant opportunities for swimming, fishing, boating and other recreational activities.
Our Story: We began as the Hudson River Fisherman's Association and, over 50 years later, we are New York’s clean water advocate, having helped set worldwide standards for waterway and watershed protection and serving as the model for more than 300 Keeper programs around the globe.
What we do
Riverkeeper focuses on three overarching problems facing Hudson River communities:
- Restoration of the Hudson River ecosystem, with particular emphasis on minimizing fish kills and water pollution;
- Protection of New York City’s drinking water supply; and
- Improving public access to the Hudson River.
Enforcement & Litigation:
Riverkeeper has successfully challenged the illegal activities of some of the largest and most notorious polluters, including: Exxon-Mobil, General Electric, Consolidated Edison, Metropolitan Transit Authority, the City of New York, and the New York State Department of Transportation.
Patrol Boat:
In any given season the Riverkeeper Patrol Boat logs approximately 5,600 nautical miles patrolling from New York Harbor downstate to Troy upstate.
Policy & Legislation:
As the Hudson Valley's chief law enforcer, Riverkeeper works to strengthen the laws and regulations that protect New York’s water and waterways.
Community Engagement:
Riverkeeper knows that protecting and restoring our waterways takes the effort of every citizen, which is why we use print, electronic media, and even our current traveling photo exhibit to teach the public about our work.
