About this event

Canal Clean Sweep is an annual statewide clean-up event that occurs along major greenways across New York State to celebrate Earth Day. 

Clean-ups primarily occur along the Erie and Champlain Canalways, the Glens Falls Feeder Canal, the Black River Feeder Canal, and the Rochester Riverway.

Sponsored by the New York State Canal Corporation, Parks & Trails New York has been responsible for executing Canal Clean Sweep for 19 years. Typically, this weekend witnesses 100+ spring clean-ups along major greenways, in canalside parks, and in other public areas throughout the Canal corridor.

The Feeder Canal has its primary annual fundraiser Glens Falls Brewfest on the weekend of April 20th. However, as annual participants in Canal Clean Sweep we did not want to miss the opportunity to show our love for the canal and the community, so we have scheduled our Clean Sweep for the following weekend on April 27th 8:30am-11am!. 

As luck would have it our canal clean up is the same day as Glens Falls Wing Fest.  Please consider coming out to volunteer with the Feeder Canal to burn a few calories, spend some time with others who love the Feeder -  and then follow it up with some good eating in downtown Glens Falls!!!

Our set up is at Murray Park parking lot at Jack and Jill Ice Cream stand. 

Please bring your own work gloves, wear long pants and sturdy closed toe shoes and if you have them bring rakes, clippers and a trash grabber.  We will provide garbage bags
