Who We Are

Anacostia Riverkeeper is the voice for clean water and healthy communities in the Anacostia watershed.  Like a "neighborhood watch" for the watershed, we patrol our streams and rivers and hold all accountable to their environmental responsibilities. We advocate for clean water laws that are fair and enforced consistently.

Support Our Effort! 

 Clean water and  a swimmable, fishable Anacostia River is our dream and our goal.  Support our efforts to get there and consider making a donation. We need your help!

"To us, trash is a psychological toxin. It’s like a broken window that drives people away from a building. But if we can tackle the trash and make a big dent, it will help bring people back to the river.”....Anacostia Riverkeeper
