Shepherd Parkway covers a vast-by-city-standards 197 acres. It has been neglected for decades, and there is much work to be done removing trash and invasive plants from the park. Our volunteers enjoy exercise, time in nature, and knowing that every bit of effort makes the park a better place for plants, animals, and people. We meet at the benches, across Malcolm X Avenue from 555 Newcomb Street SE. It's in the park near the corner of Martin Luther King Avenue. 1.3 miles from the Anacostia Metro Station. Volunteers should wear boots, long pants, and clothes they don't mind getting dirty. Bring a water bottle. Gloves, bags, tools and water refills are provided. Reservations are not necessary. Contact Nathan Harrington at nbharrington@yahoo.com or 301-758-5892 if you have questions. NOTE: 1 hour of travel time is included. The event runs from 10:30am-1pm. Brothers will receive 1 DYSD credit and 4.5 service hours.
