10/13/2026

Like many rivers around the world – the Hudson, America's First River and the Birthplace of the American Environmental Movement – boomed as a growing human population used it for transportation, sustenance and, for many years, a dumping ground. The river paid a price for all this use and abuse, struggling against its share of contamination. For the past nearly three decades the river's poet laureate and literal "eyes on the river," Captain John, has been at the forefront of each of those fights, taking on industrial and human pollution, suffering the losses and celebrating victories.

Today, John Lipscomb is one of more than 300 “Keepers” around the globe, looking out for their respective rivers.

Mark your calendar – our coming screening of The Keeper by Jon Bowermaster will be in the Homeport Barn on Wed 10/28 at 6pm

This screening will feature a talk with filmmaker Jon Bowermaster and special guest Captain John Lipscomb.
