Suggestions for a Drive to Benefit this Organization: AWS could benefit from a "volunteer event supply drive". This would include materials and supplies like shovels, hand pruners, lopers, trash bags, gloves, pruning shears, mulch, fertilizer, etc. AWS could also benefit from a drive for materials for our educational program; including pencils, crayons, craft supplies, interpretive materials, etc.
For the last few years, AWS has been working with local students and other community members to restore wetlands up and down the Anacostia River. As part of this effort, we manage a small wetland plant nursery where we grow and care for many of the plants used in this restoration work. This spring and early summer we need your help to take care of this nursery! Work will include some planting, mulching, and other light maintenance. Join us!
Registration is required. Contact Maddie below.
Please join AWS and local elementary students as we work to plant wetland species the students have grown from seed in their classrooms. This is a great opportunity to get outdoors, learn more about wetland restoration, and work closely with local students!
