Happy World Wetlands Day!
Let's hear it for[image: Anacostia River wetlands at Langston Golf Course
in May 2021] the Anacostia River's wetlands! For almost two decades the
Anacostia Watershed Society has been restoring our favorite river's tidal
wetlands. Across our programs, we've had the help of thousands of
volunteers through the years who have literally trudged through mud to
revitalize a key habitat of a healthy river. From our school-aged Rice
Rangers

who grow native wild rice and duck potato and plant them riverside, to our
volunteer groups who help us remove invasive species and plant new trees,
all the way to our Earth Day and Trash Trap volunteers who help us keep it
all clean - thank you to everyone who works to protect this important part
of the Anacostia River's ecosystem.
Let's take a look at some highlights through the years:
