Donating EquipmentAWS programs are very demanding of our equipment. We are always in need of new canoes, paddles, kayaks, life vests, wet bags, and other items for our outdoor programs. Unfortunately, we don't have the resources to replace these as they become worn out. We also welcome new and used computers and office furniture. If you have any extra that you'd like to see help with the Anacostia restoration efforts, please contact us about making a donation. Thank you for your help! |

Donate Online! A Note from Acting President, Jim Connolly... Dear Friend of the River, As 2008 draws to a close and the Anacostia Watershed Society finishes its 19th year of service to local communities and the environment, I want you to know how encouraged I am by your ongoing support of our activities and programs. The outlook for restoring the Anacostia River and its tributaries to a swimmable and fishable condition has never been brighter than it is today; and, as you read on, I trust you will realize the we cannot achieve that bright, healthy, pollution-free future without you. As you weigh each of your holiday giving options this year, please keep the Anacostia in your mind and close to your heart. Earlier in the fall, I was invited to speak about AWS’s work to a gathering of riverkeepers and conservationists from around the world called the International River Symposium. Honored by the all-expense-paid invitation, I packed up my slide show and flew south of the equator to the conference site in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. What I learned after I arrived there amazed me. Of the hundreds of polluted urban rivers in the world, our own Anacostia stands above the average when it comes to measuring the success of existing environmental restoration efforts. Compare the relative beauty and renewal of life along the Anacostia to the unrelenting miles of concrete that channeled Germany’s Isar River or the effluent waste of 4 million people flushing untreated into Brazil’s Velhas River each year, and I am confident you will draw a similar conclusion. It’s obvious how such improvements have come to pass...[Read More]
