About this Event
May 4 from 10 AM to 12:00 PM
Join Brooklyn Outdoor Service Guides (OSG), Scout Troop 651 for a cleanup from 10 AM to 12:00 PM at Valentino Pier for the 13th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep. This is a rain or shine event.
Volunteers will meet at the flagpole at Louis Valentino, Jr. Park and Pier, at the intersection of Ferris St & Van Dyke St, Brooklyn. Parking is available on the streets surrounding the pier. Leave ample time to find parking as it can be competitive.
We ask all Sweep volunteers to bring a hat, sunscreen, a full reusable water bottle, insect repellant , a face mask, work gloves and hand sanitizer. Wear layers. Depending on the weather, it can get windy and is always colder by the water.
This site is suitable for elementary-aged children with adult supervision.
