When: April 24th from 8:30 AM to 12 PM
Where: Fort Dupont Park Activity Center (Fort Dupont Dr SE, Washington DC)
How to Get There: By car or by public transportation convoy (see details below)
Why: To prove that the "Forgotten River" has not been forgotten

Following the Cleanup, the Anacostia Watershed Society is throwing a party to celebrate Earth Day. Come out to Anacostia Park (in front of the skating pavilion) between 12 PM and 2 PM.

If you are taking public transportation, we've worked out a helpful meetup schedule to get us to the park on time:

1. 8:15 AM - Meet at the entrance/exit of the Potomac Ave. metro station (Blue/Orange)
2. 8:30 AM - Pick up the V8 metrobus eastbound
3. 8:40 AM - Arrive at Randle Circle; walk into Fort Dupont Park

The Trail Voice Fort Dupont site is just one of many Cleanup sites. You can find sites in Washington DC, Prince George's County, and Montgomery County.

The Cleanup offers you a chance to be an environmental hero for a river that needs your help. On a river like this, you're almost guaranteed to visually notice the fruits of your labor after just a few hours of dedicated volunteer work.
