Anacostia Riverkeeper

Conducted a series of volunteer cleanup events community fishing events and boating experiences to create meaningful encounters with the river and to empower citizens to take ownership of the river.

Responded to citizen complaints about pollution in the Anacostia watershed as well as provided opportunity to clean up trash and other debris from the river and its tributaries.

Managed several in-stream litter-capturing "bandalong" litter traps. The bandalong traps capture floating litter in the Anacostia River preventing it from contributing to pollution. The bandalong traps infrastructure and serve as an educational tool and green job generator for the community. are green
