Thanks to all the Friends of Accotink Creek who joined the Potomac Watershed Cleanup at our 12 adopted stretches of Accotink Creek in 2012. Together we removed 256 bags of trash, 15 tires, and junk ranging from a traffic stoplight to a fountain soda CO2 tank. Plan now to volunteer again with others to preserve our oceans and waterways! Leaders needed to coordinate cleanup sites during the International Coastal Cleanup in September, 2012 and the Potomac Watershed Cleanup in April, 2013!

On December 7th, Philip Latasa and Olivier Giron walked a section of the Accotink Watershed, looking at different problems that are plaguing Accotink Creek and its tributaries. They found areas of heavy erosion, litter that is washing down from parking lots and roads, and illegal dumping. (Including mysterious piles of nothing but auto bumpers.) Learn more about the problem and contribute to the effort to spread awareness of our responsibilities to our environment.

Be afraid! Big construction projects are rolling across the Accotink Creek watershed permanently removing tree cover and habitat and filling Accotink Creek with construction sediment. Our report on a neighborhood turned into a ghost town awaiting its end before the blades of bulldozers.

Thanks to all the Friends of Accotink Creek who joined the International Coastal Cleanup at five of our 12 adopted stretches of Accotink Creek in 2011. Together we removed 109 bags of trash, 11 tires, and junk ranging from a rolling trash bin to a bean bag chair.
Plan now to volunteer again with others to preserve our oceans and waterways! Leaders needed to coordinate cleanup sites during the Potomac Watershed Cleanup in April & May, 2012 and again in September & October, 2012!
