Over 30 students and staff from Devereux New York participated in Scenic Hudson's Great River Sweep on April 26 at Clermont State Historic Site. The intrepid group cleared trash and debris from approximately five miles of hiking trails and grounds surrounding the Georgian-style estate.

Scenic Hudson started the Great River Sweep, an all-volunteer cleanup of Hudson River shorelines, tributaries and public places, in 1998. Since its inception, the Great River Sweep has united over 30,000 individuals from Manhattan to the Adirondacks to remove 300 tons of riverside trash.
