Cleaning Up Virginia’s Waterways

Our mission is to prevent plastic, trash, and other pollution from entering our waterways by engaging communities through hands-on cleanups, raising awareness through educational programs, advocating for the health of our environment, and planting native plants. We are dedicated to protecting and restoring our local waterways — including the Rappahannock River, Potomac River, Accokeek Creek, Potomac Creek, and Aquia Creek.
