Nash Run Trash Trap Cleanup

Date: Saturday, December 17, 2011
Time: 12:00pm - 3:00pm
Location: Around the intersection of Anacostia Ave. NE and Douglas St. NE. This site is about an 8 minute walk from the Deanwood Metro station on the Orange Line. [map]

Event Description: AWS has been experimenting with a stationery device built to strain the trash from the flowing waters of Nash Run, located adjacent the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens in NE DC. Excellent opportunity to learn about the trash challenges of the Anacostia--and what is being done to address it.

We need about 4-5 people for this cleanup. The task needs squatting down for a relatively long time, and may be a little physically demanding.

Please RSVP because we want to communicate with you best. This event might be canceled suddenly because the trash trap lies across a small stream and we cannot work on high flow events. Also, there may be no trash at the end of the month if there is no intense rainfall event by then.
