Description: Come join the Anacostia Watershed Society to help facilitate a guided two hour canoe tour from Kenilworth Park on Saturday, June 26th! Please arrive masked and plan to stay masked throughout the event.
This event is part of our summer series giving participants the opportunity to explore the Anacostia River and learn about the natural and cultural history of the Anacostia River with the Anacostia Watershed Society. We will explore the ecological and historical changes that have occurred in the river and in the communities around the river. We will also have the opportunity to witness some of the restoration of river habitats and how it has caused the rebound of the wildlife in the Anacostia River. We will paddle together as a group.
Meeting Location: Be careful with GPS! We will meet at Kenilworth Park, located at 4000 Deane Avenue NE. After entering the park, follow around after the football fields and you will see the meetup spot near the tree line. This park is south of Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, accessible via car via the Burroughs Ave/Minnesota Ave exit from 295. It is a 20 minute walk from the Minnesota Ave metro station.
What to Wear/Bring: All participants must arrive wearing a face mask. We will have some hand sanitizer available, but please feel free to bring your own. We recommend wearing sunscreen and a hat, and bringing water and a towel (sometimes you get splashed while canoeing).
Note: All tours are weather dependent. We will proceed in light rain, but may need to cancel if there is heavy rain, lightning, or strong wind in the forecast.
If you have any questions prior to the event, please contact Ariel Trahan at atrahan@anacostiaws.org. We look forward to working with you!
