CANCELED:

In response to the evolving circumstances with the COVID-19 virus, beginning Monday, March 16, 2020, Montgomery Parks, part of The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) is closing all events taking place in parks and at park facilities through April 30.

Please note: Outdoor areas of the parks will remain open to the public from sunrise to sunset.

Every year, LFWA joins forces with the Alice Ferguson Foundation to help clean the entire Potomac River watershed. Hundreds and hundreds of pounds of trash will be pulled out of the River and its tributaries and feeder creeks.

Come for an hour or two, come on time, come late, leave early or stay the entire time - whatever suits your schedule is perfect for us.. We have bags and gloves to share. Come prepared to get muddy! Bring grabbers if you have some to reach trash in trees and other hard to get spots.

Pre-approved for SSL hours for MCPS. Children under 14 must be accompanied by adult supervisor.

Three Locations:

Bethesda Pool (Corner of Hillandale and Little Falls Parkway) Little Falls Parkway between River Road and Mass Ave. Park at the gravel parking lot on LIttle Falls near the new town houses.

Willard Avenue Neighborhood Park (Willard Avenue and River Road). Park on Willard Avenue or in the small parking lot off RIver.

Little Falls Park at Massachusetts Avenue. Park on at the gravel parking lot and look for our sign.
