Description: Volunteers will help AWS with a Restoration Workday at Colmar Manor Community Park! During this event we will focus on tree planting and tree maintenance, which could include repairing tree shelters and fencing, and removing weeds/invasive plant species to allow the native trees to continue to flourish. It is important to maintain these trees because they help to manage stormwater and filter surface water before it goes into the Anacostia River. The tree canopy by Dueling Creek, in Colmar Manor Community Park, has been devastated by the emerald ash borer beetle, so by planting native trees species that aren't affected by the beetle, volunteers will also help us to restore the tree canopy! By participating in this project, you will help us to improve the water quality of the Anacostia River and the habitat for wildlife.
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. Anyone who doesn't register online will be denied access to the event.
