Come Out and Pickup Mother Earth!
The Anacostia Watershed Society (AWS) and its partners invite you to help us 'Pickup Mother Earth!' during the 14th Annual Anacostia Watershed Earth Day Cleanup & Rally Celebration on Saturday, April 26, 2008.
Trash cleanups will take place from 8:30AM to 12:00PM at sites throughout the watershed. If you would like to become an Earth Day cleanup volunteer, keep reading below. All volunteers will receive a free 2008 Earth Day T-shirt. This year's shirt will feature children's art and poetry centered on our 2008 Earth Day theme 'Pickup Mother Earth'.

Following the cleanups, all of our volunteers and the public at large are invited to help us celebrate the day with food, live entertainment, and community spirit at our Earth Day Rally Celebration at Seafarers Yacht Club in the District of Columbia. The rally runs from 12:00PM to 2:00PM. Click here for more information about the rally.
