NARROWSBURG – Litter Leaders, clean-up volunteers, and donations are needed to support the 6th Annual Upper Delaware Litter Sweep that the Upper Delaware Council (UDC) is organizing throughout the Earth Day Month of April 2026.

To recognize the 250th anniversary of America, this year’s theme is: “Keeping Our Country Beautiful.” A new logo design donated by multimedia artist Jeff George of Honesdale, PA (www.facebook.com/JeffGeorgeDesign or @jeffgeorgedesignco) and soon to be unveiled will emblazon the commemorative t-shirt that each participant earns.

Litter Leaders are asked to step forward to organize dates, locations, and volunteers for land-based clean-ups in the 15 New York towns and Pennsylvania townships surrounding the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River. Multiple events are welcome to be arranged by individuals, organizations, and businesses for a spring spruce-up of their favorite places.

The UDC will provide neon-colored team shirts, pickers, gloves, and garbage bags, as well as assisting with permitting and promotions.

WJFF Radio Catskill 90.5 FM will serve as media sponsor for the third year.

The Upper Delaware Litter Sweep is wholly supported by the donation of funds, goods, and services. Contributions of $50 and more will be acknowledged in event publicity.

To receive updates as a registered Litter Leader or a volunteer, contact UDC Administrative Support Stephanie Driscoll at stephanie@upperdelawarecouncil.org or (845) 252-3022.
