Join the Alliance’s Washington, DC team as we partner with Boating in DC for a Project Clean Stream event! Experience paddling on the Potomac while helping clean trash and debris from the local waterway.
We will meet at the Thompson Boat Center at 2900 Virginia Ave NW at 10am on Friday, September 13th. We’ll hear a safety talk and paddling tips from Thompson Boat Center staff, and then Alliance staff will provide trash bags, grabbers, and gloves. Smaller groups will then be sent onto the water to designated zones to pick up trash from the river in your choice of single or tandem boats. Lifejackets (PFDs) are provided, and staff will be available on the water at all times. Previous paddling/boating experience is not required, and there will be cleanup opportunities for land lovers as well. Water and snacks are available for purchase, you may also bring your own. We encourage you to wear athletic clothing you don’t mind getting wet.
For any questions, please reach out to Carly Starobin at cstarobin@allianceforthebay.org.
