Delmar-based artist Terry Rooney created this bust of Pete Seeger, American folk singer, social activist, and environmentalist. Seeger was instrumental in the cleanup of the Hudson River. In 1966, Seeger and his wife Toshi founded the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the Hudson River and surrounding wetlands and waterways through advocacy and public education. It constructed a floating ambassador for this environmental mission, the sloop Clearwater, and began an annual music and environmental festival, today known as the Great Hudson River Revival. Seeger resided in Beacon, NY until his death in 2013, and remains a cultural and environmental icon.
