The Friends of Mount Vernon Trail will be picking up trash near Theodore Roosevelt Island as part of Latino Conservation Week. We will be joined by the National Park Service George Washington Memorial Parkway, Green Latinos, and Urban Adventure Squad.
After the event (until 2pm), there will be community tabling in celebration of Latino Conservation Week. Activities include completing Junior Park Ranger activities and earning a Junior Ranger badge, learning from National Park Rangers and conservation groups about the park and the watershed, a hike on the island led by a park ranger, and free giveaways.
Register for the cleanup here!
Where to Meet:
We will be set up at the south end of the Theodore Rossevelt Island parking lot at the base of the bridge to Theodore Rossevelt Island located here. Please note that this parking lot can become very full on Saturday morning. If full, you can also park in Rosslyn. Bike racks are available and the meeting location is a 0.6 mile walk from the Rosslyn Metro station.
Group Volunteering:
We welcome groups to come volunteer at our events. If you plan on having more than 10 people come on a particular weekend, just let us know via email (hello@mountvernontrail.org) no less than one week prior to the day of the event.
