Description: Volunteers will help AWS with a Wetland Restoration Workday and Mussel Release at Kingman Marsh! AWS is working to restore the wetlands to the shore of the Anacostia River. This Restoration Workday will involve removing fencing, cleaning up trash in the wetlands, and releasing freshwater mussels into the Anacostia River. 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.
