Flooding the Headwaters of the Anacostia River Ride CANCELLED Due to the storms of the past few weeks, the Flooding of the Headwaters of the Anacostia River Ride and Pontoon Boat Tour has been cancelled. The heavy rains have washed away several bridges along portions of the tributary trails along with dumping silt and mud upon the portions that remained. Our hopes were that trails would be cleaned and repaired in time for the ride to happen, but in the interest of safety we must cancel the ride. Along with trails being flooded, Earth Conservation Corps suffered a setback when the storms sunk one of the flatbead boats to be used during the tour. WABA and ECC are currently trying to reschedule the event for early fall. We will transfer your registration from this ride to the next one and give you first choice of routes. If you would rather we refund your donation, please contact Susanna at susanna@waba.org. We apologize for any inconvenience. Earth Conservation Corps The ANACOSTIA RIVERKEEPER program of the Earth Conservation Corps now offers both Service Days and EcoTours on the Anacostia River. Once considered the “Forgotten River” the Earth Conservation Corps works to raise awareness about the river while engaging young people from the surrounding communities to reclaim the River, their communities, and their lives.
