Join the Blue Planet Stream Team, Rock Creek Conservancy, and the National Park Service in the fight against plastics and marine debris as we clean up Rock Creek.
Rock Creek Park is a natural oasis of more than 1700 acres of parkland in the middle of Washington, DC. Trash is one of the biggest issues plaguing this urban park. Trash and litter negatively affect the health of a watershed, along with the organisms (we humans included) that live there.
Start your Sunday off with some good karma. We hope to see you there!
