Meeting Location: Bladensburg Waterfront Park, 4601 Annapolis Road, Bladensburg, MD 20710 (map)
Description: Volunteers will help the Anacostia Watershed Society (AWS) with a Restoration Workday at the Bladensburg Waterfront Park. With help from volunteers, AWS has planted hundreds of native trees along the Anacostia River in Bladensburg in an effort to restore the tree canopy that had been devastated by the invasive emerald ash borer beetle. During this event we will focus on 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. By participating in this project, volunteers will help us to improve the water quality of the Anacostia River and the habitat for wildlife.
Physical Level of Difficulty: Moderate to Difficult
