Anacostia Riverkeeper works to protect and restore the Anacostia River for all who live, work and play in the watershed

Anacostia Riverkeeper works to protect and restore the Anacostia River for all who live, work and play in the watershed. Through a combination of outreach, advocacy, and science-based research our programs work to protect the river as well as foster deeper watershed appreciation through community connections. We want you to share our passion for the river today and see the potential it holds for tomorrow!
