About this event:

Join Potomac Conservancy for a trash-tastic cleanup at Matthew Henson Trail Unit 2 at Georgia Ave, MD. Make a huge difference for the Potomac River as we turn to the water for a swimmable and fishable river. Polluted urban runoff is the only growing source of pollution to the river which is why we need your help.
