11th Annual Canal Clean Sweep in the books! Another sparkling success!
On April 22-24, 2016 the NYS Canal Corporation and Parks & Trails New York hosted a weekend of volunteer events along the New York State Canal System as part of the 11th annual Canal Clean Sweep. All together, 106 Clean Sweep events were held across the State, with hundreds of community groups and thousands of volunteers giving back to the NYS Canal and Canalway Trail system.
Volunteers wore smiles and the customary Canal Clean Sweep t-shirts as they took to rake and shovel on canal and trail sections across the state.
Thank you to all the dedicated event organizers and thousands of volunteers who made this year’s event a special one!
Whadja Find?
As Canal Clean Sweep has come to be known as much for the strange things that are found every year as the noble dedication of organizers and volunteers or the event's great community spirit, take a minute to enjoy some of the weirdly, wonderful finds from 2016. We thrown in a few great shots that show groups hard at work too!
