Enviro Event: A Clearwater Revival

June 18th, 2008 by leslie · No Comments

Ahoy! If you are in NYC this weekend, head down to Croton Point Park and check out the Clearwater Festival. It’s going on from 10am until dusk both Saturday and Sunday on the shores of the Hudson River, and highlights will include live music and singalongs, camping, boat rides, and the Clearwater Environmental Short Film Competition (check out the ten finalists and vote for the winners). WBAI/Pacifica Radio will be broadcasting live from the event.

Our friend Chris Hunt, a Clearwater board member and factory farm fighter, has this to say about the festival:

In addition to boasting an outstanding lineup of musicians in a beautiful park with striking river views, Revival affords attendees the opportunity to celebrate and support Clearwater, a pioneering grassroots environmental organization that has worked tirelessly to protect the Hudson River through advocacy and environmental education for more than 30 years. Having sailed on the Clearwater as a fourth-grade student, I can personally attest to the importance of the organization’s efforts; I’m proud to continue to support Clearwater as a volunteer and as a member of its board of directors.

But that’s not all! Eat Well Captain Director Destin Lane (forgive me, it’s all I can do to stem back the tide of nautical/pirate puns) and a few of our fabulous interns will be manning a table in the activist area, where over 50 groups will represent a broad range of vital grassroots issues. To see who else will be there, click here, and don’t be a stranger–stop by and say hello!
