Clearwater Celebrates the Hudson!
Become a Patron Fish to support a swimmable, fishable, drinkable river

Clearwater is unique in the environmental community for our long legacy of promoting environmental awareness with music. Our approach to environmental education and action is also unique. Clearwater encourages active participation in protecting our waterways and planet. We go beyond revealing the wonders of the river we sail, beyond describing the ecology and history of its natural and human communities, beyond inspiring participants with the spirit and beauty of a tall ship under sail. We actively encourage them to become advocates for a clean and healthy environment, to improve our piece of the planet by addressing specific threats to the Hudson and its. We detail the issues, the actors, and the paths to ecologically sound and sustainable solutions.

The sloop Clearwater’s 54th sailing season launched earlier this month. There will be many who spy the sails unfurled and recognize the Clearwater’s unique and iconic stature. But while glad to see the sloop, all too often they don’t understand that our education and advocacy work requires substantial financial underwriting. As supporters of Clearwater, you do.

By becoming a Patron Fish, you are making our education sails, environmental symposia, and celebrations possible and, in doing so, facilitating outreach that will bring more people into the Clearwater fold.
