Clean Up 4MR, Clean up the Potomac: April 9th (Correction)

SAVE THE DATE:
23rd Annual Potomac River Watershed Cleanup
Four Mile Run Park, Saturday, April 9, 9:00 am – 12 pm

The City of Alexandria is seeking volunteers to participate in the 23rd Annual Potomac Watershed Cleanup and join others across the region to clean up local streams and the Potomac River Watershed.

The cleanup will take place on Saturday, April 9th from 9:00am to 12 noon, with the City hosting three locations along Four Mile Run:
  1. 3700 Commonwealth Avenue in Four Mile Run Park
  2. Four Mile Run at Mt. Vernon Ave
  3. Eaton Square Clubhouse at 801 Four Mile Rd.
Trash and litter have many negative impacts on our quality of life. Trash is harmful to wildlife and the environment, and it is an eyesore that impairs the beauty of neighborhoods and decreases property value. Cleaning up and removal of litter also costs local governments funds that could be better used elsewhere.

To volunteer at one of the City’s sites, please contact Jesse Maines at jesse.maines@alexandriava.gov.
