Want to have a rewarding experience this summer working to green our nation’s capital while engaging and mentoring youth from around the District? Then the Mayor’s Green Summer Job Corps is the place for you! In 2009, our supervisors led the nation’s largest green collar jobs training program through a successful nine week program. Below is a quick glimpse of some of the projects accomplished in 2009: • Installed rain gardens throughout the District; • Built and installed planters for native vegetation along the H Street Corridor; • Maintained (mulched, pruned and watered) newly planted trees across the District; • Removed many tons of garbage from District waterways; • Labeled storm drains to prevent pollution in the Anacostia River; • Educated District residents on energy efficiency through the distribution of CFL bulbs and weatherization kits – over 500 resident homes served; and • Tons of invasive plant species removed from wetland areas to promote the reintroduction of native wildlife. The Green Summer program is an excellent way for those interested in the environment and conservation fields to gain valuable field level work and leadership experience while making a difference in young people’s lives. If you are interested in having a summer experience that will change your life – join us this summer and apply today.

Can anyone recommend a company that can do custom storm window installation? (not looking for replacement windows, just looking for new storm windows). Thanks!

The Anacostia Watershed Society was founded in 1989 by a small group of
concerned individuals who decided that the environmental needs of the Anacostia River and its watershed communities required serious attention. Over the past 20 years, our staff and programming efforts have expanded significantly to encompass efforts in environmental education, stewardship, and advocacy. We are making a difference, won't you help! We need volunteers to help clean and restore the watershed! We organize environmental volunteer events on a regular basis, such as trash cleanups and invasive plant removal outings, at Magruder Park (among other sites within the watershed), close to your community! http://www.anacostiaws.org/ Contact us and...
