Celebrate Earth Day in Cheverly!
We need YOU to help clean up Cheverly’s tributaries into Lower Beaverdam Creek, the most polluted stream in the Anacostia River watershed.
Join Friends of Lower Beaverdam Creek on Saturday, April 18 as we pick up trash along Route 50 and along Tributary 4.
If you don’t know where Tributary 4 is, come out and learn!
We will work from 9:00 a.m. to noon.
Meet at the Woodworth Park tot lot, intersection of Wayne Place and Cheverly Park Drive.
Our effort is part of the larger Earth Day event sponsored by the Anacostia Watershed Society. Last year, AWS and partner organizations like FLBC removed 51 tons of trash and debris from the Anacostia River in one day!
But this was just a drop in the bucket compared to the estimated 20,000 tons of trash and debris entering the river each year. So come be part of this year’s effort.
Trash bags, gloves and free T-shirts will be provided. Wear long sleeves and pants and sturdy shoes.
After our event, we will go over to the AWS’s celebration at the Bladensburg Waterfront Park from noon to 2 PM.
Free food! Music! And a chance to mingle with elected officials and others who will work at 30 different sites in this one day.
