If driving to the event, please try to park under the metro tracks. You can use the address 2556 Benning Road NE on your GPS to be directed to the parking lot.

Description: Volunteers will help AWS with a Restoration Workday at Kingman Marsh! AWS is working to restore the wetlands to the shore of the Anacostia River. This Restoration Workday will involve removing fencing and cleaning up trash in the wetlands. Some of the work is done by standing in the river while wearing waders, so this is a truly unique experience! We will provide all necessary training, tools, and supplies for this event. 

Physical Requirements: This event will likely involve lifting, bending, and walking in mud wearing boots or waders. Participants will be expected to wear closed-toed shoes for the duration of the event. These events may not be suitable for those with health issues. If you think any of the physical requirements will be problematic, please let us know.

Registration is required. Please register at least 2 days prior to the event date you chose to volunteer in order to receive additional information regarding proper clothing, etc.
