About this Event
We welcome volunteers of all ages to help remove single-use plastics and trash that has accumulated along the shoreline of Oxon Cove and Oxon Run. Please be prepared and dress accordingly. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little wet and muddy. (If you have knee-high rubber boots or waders we recommend wearing them so you can help us tackle the trash below the shoreline!) Please bring water (in a reusable water bottle, of course) and snacks.
After the Oxon Cove Earth Day River Cleanup, make sure to visit the Forest Heights Climate Festival for continual fun and education on Earth Day!
There will be three registration/check-in tables: DC volunteers will check-in at the entrance of Oxon Hill Farm Trail on DC Village Lane, SW; Maryland Volunteers will check-in either at the Oxon Hill Bike Trail Parking Lot or at Bell Acres Park in Forest Heights. Volunteer check-in will begin 15 minutes before the shift.
Please fill out the PRKN volunteer waiver and email to [email protected] before arriving at our event. Any minors participating must have a parent or legal guardian attend with them and sign their waiver.
