2024 Oxon Cove Earth Day River Cleanup
April 27 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Event Navigation
Join Potomac Riverkeeper Network and our partners as we bring our communities together to celebrate Earth Day by giving back!
We welcome volunteers of all ages to help remove single-use plastics and trash that has accumulated along the shoreline of Oxon Cove and Oxon Run. Please be prepared and dress accordingly. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little wet and muddy. (If you have knee-high rubber boots or waders we recommend wearing them so you can help us tackle the trash below the shoreline!) Please bring water (in a reusable water bottle, of course) and snacks.
In order to not over-crowd our volunteers, our event will be running in two shifts. One from 9am – 11:30am and the other from 12pm – 2:30pm. There will be access points on both the DC and the Maryland sides of the Cove.
DC volunteers will check-in at the entrance of Oxon Hill Farm Trail on DC Village Lane, SW. Maryland Volunteers will check-in at the Oxon Hill Bike Trail Parking Lot. Volunteer check-in will begin 15 minutes before the shift.
Please fill out the PRKN volunteer waiver HERE before arriving at our event. Any minors participating must have a parent or legal guardian attend with them and sign their waiver.
