I'm happy to report that the BTW National Public Lands Day at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens was a huge success! We were able to dodge the rain in the morning and spread gravel for paths, remove water lotus, remove invasive plants, and pick up trash along the Anacostia River. Fifty BTW students from four schools came to this event and boy, did they ever work hard!

Students brave the muck to rake out the water lotus leaves from one of the lily ponds.

Special thanks to Freedom High School, George C. Marshall High School, Poolesville High School, and Northwestern High School for a job well done!
Stay posted for a fabulous slide show of the event. I've got some great pictures to share!
