Note: This event is weather dependent
Description: AWS is excited to participate in the City Nature Challenge 2023 - an international effort to identify and document plant and animal species in our cities.
Explore the riparian forests of the tidal Anacostia River including forested wetlands. This will be a mix of tree maintenance and iNatting. Since 2017 we have been replacing the dead ash trees killed by the invasive Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) with native species not affected by the pest. It is an amazing place to observe wetland and aquatic biodiversity.
Meetup location: Meet at the boat ramp gazebo near the main park facility building
Participants document their findings with the free iNaturalist application, however, you don't need to have the app to join the event.
Registration is required.
