Anacostia Watershed Society

Restoring the Anacostia River to a swimmable, fishable condition by engaging volunteers in environmental stewardship activities, advocating for healthier local neighborhoods and teaching more about the natural world around us.

How do you help people in my community?

The Society has worked extensively during the past six years in Wards 5,6,7,8, and 2, with schools, civic groups and churches on environmental justice issues.

Why do you need my support?

A $30 donation will cover the cost to sponsor a canoe trip for a student, to plant a tree, or enough paint to cover five storm drains with the message ?Don?t Dump -- Anacostia River Drainage.?

How can I be sure that you will use my money wisely and won't waste it?

We are a no frills stay-focused organization with a small staff -- nine full-time employees.

Can I Volunteer? How?
