Join the local movement for clean water and have fun on the Potomac at the same time!

Each year, hundreds of volunteers connect with their local lands and waters by participating in Potomac Conservancy’s hands-on stewardship and recreation activities. Our local events restore shorelines, raise awareness, and inspire residents to make a difference.

Find out how you can fight for a clean, restored Potomac in your community!
