Three years ago, the global pandemic brought the world to a standstill. But the Anacostia River’s waters kept flowing, and the Anacostia Watershed Society’s efforts to conserve and restore the watershed never stopped. Now, at last, we can come together again to celebrate our progress and renew our commitment to a clean and healthy river.
We hope you will join us in recognizing the contributions of current and future community leaders as we present the 2023 Anacostia River Hero Awards. Together we will celebrate all the ways the Anacostia River is rebounding:
We look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones at River Homecoming!
