Join AWS as we celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day!  Our annual Earth Day event brings together hundreds of volunteers to participate in a massive trash cleanup along the shores of the Anacostia River in DC and several upstream tributaries in Maryland.  An Earth Day Celebration will follow the morning cleanup featuring free food, music and presentations from government officials.  Last year, approximately 2,000 volunteers helped remove more than 60 tons of trash from the Anacostia River, so sign up today to help make it happen this year!

This page will be updated with more information as the event approaches, so please check back!  For additional information on AWS's Earth Day 2010, please contact info@anacostiaws.org.
