Help us reforest the Potomac River Region!
Join the Festival del Río Anacostia and collect acorns that will become “Tomorrow’s Trees.” Acorns and tree seeds will be donated to the Maryland State Nursery for reforestation efforts.
The Potomac River’s health is improving but its progress is threatened by reckless deforestation. Extreme forest loss is leading to an increase in polluted runoff and destroying our natural defenses to climate impacts.
Thankfully, state forestry efforts are working on restoring the region’s forests and tree cover, but their tree supplies are critically low.
You can help! Tap your inner squirrel and collect acorns from local species at the Festival del Rio.
