Dear Clearwater Friends,
It is with a heavy heart that we all reflect on the passing of our founder, Pete Seeger.
We are all changed forever by the music, words, and deeds of this extraordinary man. Pete gave us so much - inspiration, humor, empowerment, and a vision for cleaning up the Hudson River. It is our honor to carry on his legacy.
Because of Pete's vision, the sloop Clearwater will sail on, welcoming groups of students onboard to explore the majestic beauty of the Hudson River and learn about the natural gifts it holds in store. And we will continue to work to inspire the people of the Hudson Valley, from helping river communities invest in preserving their environment, to extending the invitation to join us in song and celebration at the great Hudson River Revival.
Today and always, we remember Pete's inspiration and how, through his activism and music, a group came together to "build a boat to save the river." And we have all supported that dream that transformed the future of youth and communities along the Hudson River.
We can gain satisfaction that the mission of Clearwater continues, and Pete's inspiration remains forever. Through all of us his legacy lives on.
-The Clearwater Board of Directors, Staff, and Crew
