Volunteers extracting a truck from the riverbank

A quote from HooRWA’s own guide to paddling the Hoosic:

Soon after you pass automobiles embedded in the riverbank, left, you will see the second bridge…

This is a reminder that our beautiful river still contains relics of its dumping-ground past!

What HooRWA does.
Besides riverbank cleanups like the one above, HooRWA plans to map old landfills and other areas of concern along the river, using existing data. We do not fund or conduct large-scale remediation ourselves, but can help landowners and townships seek technical assistance or funding.

What you can do.
Bring unknown dump sites to our attention.
Volunteer on river cleanup days.
