Join Us

Join Clearwater’s efforts to defend and restore the Hudson River depend solely on the support of its members. When you join Clearwater, you will be welcomed into a family of devoted individuals committed to preserving one of America’s greatest historic rivers and related waterways.

Clearwater is made up of…

…thousands of members, who have a dream of a better future and the unwavering belief that individuals can make a difference in bringing about a cleaner, safer world.
…thousands of volunteers, who make the dream a reality by helping to sail the sloop, organizing and producing the Great Hudson River Revival, running local activities of the Clearwater Sloop Clubs, providing support for other waterfront events and performing office tasks from stuffing envelopes to helping to revamp Clearwater’s new Center for Environmental Leadership and Justice in Beacon, NY.

…a dedicated crew and staff, whose fulltime effort goes into keeping the sloop sailing (for it is a powerful symbol and practical tool for environmental protection and education) and working with schools, concerned citizens, legislators and regulatory agencies to bring about positive change. Clearwater pursues strategies for improving water quality, expanding public access to shorelines, promoting water conservation, protecting critical habitats and cleaning up toxic wastes so the Hudson River can once again safely provide food for the millions who live along its shores.
