Volunteer groups will be on the Canalway Trail at several locations in the Buffalo area this weekend, cleaning up debris and litter left from this past winter and raking and removing small, downed tree limbs and branches.
More than 190+ Canal Clean Sweep events are scheduled from April 19-21, 2024 across the 524-mile Canal system and 400-mile Canalway Trail, with over 1,800 registered volunteers statewide.
Canal Clean Sweep coincides with New York’s annual Earth Day celebrations, providing opportunities for thousands of residents to give back to their local communities and to show pride in one of New York’s most iconic cultural and recreational resources: the Canalway Trail System.
