Questions & Technical Support Marylin Veiman Echeverría Program Officer for Outreach and Education “Row and Clean the Anacostia” This project increased the accessibility of rowing on the Anacostia River by introducing an accessible boat launch for disabled rowers and providing scholarships for students to learn how to safely row through their “Learn to Row” program.
“Ward 7 Woods Remediation” This program engaged 6 Park Stewards and 126 volunteers to remove over 44,000 pounds of trash within roughly 120 acres of forest, which can improve soil and water quality, protect wildlife, and restore the scenic appeal of parklands.
By cutting invasive vines from over 400 native trees, they helped preserve tree canopy and enhance the forest’s ability to soak up and filter stormwater, clean air, lower summer temperatures, and store carbon. Homes for Hope is a transitional housing program for chronically homeless people who also are challenged with a chronic illness such as HIV/AIDS.
This project engaged residents to install 36 rain barrels in their immediate community, increasing water recycling and community awareness.
