Chesapeake & Ohio Canal

The C&O Canal, at 184.5 miles long, is an historical feat of 19th-century engineering. Today, it is an invaluable recreational outlet for millions of visitors each year who enjoy running and biking along the scenic towpaths, as well as the National Park Service’s interpretative guides and historical programming (did someone say mule-pulled boat rides?). A designated National Historical Park since 1971, SCA’s volunteer efforts keep the canal in great shape.

What: Earth Day 2008 Service Day in Washington DC

Details:
At C&O Canal, SCA volunteers will help celebrate Canal Pride Days by raking leaves at the Great Falls Tavern visitor center and parking lot. While some of the leaves will be bagged, others will be raked back into the woods to decompose. Some crews might be diverted into garlic mustard removal as well.

Registration for this event is closed.
