The Anacostia has only recently turned onto the road to recovery. But there is still so much work to do. From legacy toxins to stormwater to the constant impacts from development, the Anacostia faces countless threats to the health of its waters and the ecosystems and communities it supports.
Through your donation we can continue to fight for a fishable and swimmable Anacostia. The Anacostia used to be called “The Forgotten River”. But with support from the community across the region, we can restore it to the beautiful river ecosystem we know it to be.
“We can never thank you enough for the support y’all give us in fighting for a healthy Anacostia River. We’ve never been closer to a fully swimmable and fishable river and with the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act in 2022 you can help us cement the legacy of clean water on the Anacostia “
–Trey Sherard
