Help honor National Trails Day — the nation's largest celebration of trails  by joining Potomac Conservancy and our partners at the National Park Conservation Association and the National Park Service for a river cleanup along the C&O Canal at Fletcher’s Cove! 

What we have: Trash bags, gloves, snacks, reusable bottles, drinking water, and vouchers for a free canoe, kayak, or bicycle rental to get out and explore the Potomac River and C&O Canal National Historical Park for EVERY volunteer.

What we need: YOU! We need enthusiastic River Warriors to restore the scenic shorelines and protect important habitat by removing litter from the shores of the Potomac River — the Nation’s River. If that sounds like you, sign up! All volunteers are welcome but space is limited so sign up today! 

Important details:

Space is limited so sign up today!
