If you are headed west on Benning Road into the city, you will take a right into the driving range parking lot BEFORE the entrance to the Golf Course. The turn for the driving range parking lot is located before the Metro crosses above Benning Rd (if you are headed west). Please see this event on our website's calendar for a map of our meeting place (www.anacostiaws.org/calendar). If driving to the event, please try to park under the metro tracks.
Maximum number of volunteers: 15 individuals
Description: AWS is working to restore the wetlands to the shore of the Anacostia River. This Wetland Workday may involve planting wetland plants, repairing fencing, or removing debris. Often times work is done by standing in the river while wearing waders, so this is a truly unique experience!
Physical Requirements: This event will likely involve digging, lifting, bending, and walking for fair distances. Participants will be expected to wear boots or waders for the duration of the event. The event is not suitable for children or those with health issues. If you think any of the physical requirements will be problematic, please let us know or consider joining another event.
Registration is required. Please register at least 2 days prior to the event date you chose to volunteer in order to receive additional information regarding proper clothing, etc.
For more information, contact Emily Castelli at ecastelli2@anacostiaws.org or call 301-699-6204 x103.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Anacostia Watershed Society is to protect and restore the Anacostia River by bringing partners and communities together to achieve a clean and safe Anacostia River for the benefit of all living in its watershed and for future generations.
Description
Since 1989, the Anacostia Watershed Society has been working to make the Anacostia River swimmable, fishable and beautiful for everyone to enjoy!
We are always looking for volunteers to help with a variety of activities including: community cleanups, native plant and tree plantings, invasive plant removals, and meadow restorations.
AWS recognizes that volunteers truly are the backbone of this organization and that without them, our mission of cleaning up the Anacostia River would not be possible!
Contact us today to make a stand against pollution and restore this river to its natural beauty!
