Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens

Kenilworth Gardens, located in Southeast D.C. within Anacostia Park, is an oasis of marshland habitat that hosts numerous animal species and beautiful wetland plants.

Carefully managed by the National Park Service – with a generous amount of help from volunteers – the park is a historical reminder of the District's roots as a sea level swampland. An important site for urban ecosystem research, SCA works year-round to keep the park free of invasive plants and looking beautiful for residents and tourists alike to enjoy.

What: Earth Day 2008 Service Day in Washington DC
When: April 25, 2008, 12:30 – 4:00
Where: Kenilworth Park

Details:
SCA and Kenilworth have been collaborating for several years on a native meadow near the parking lot at the park. Volunteers will prepare the bed for planting, plant native grasses and perennials, and mulch the garden. Crews will also be planting trees along the river trail and the board walk, as well as watering and weeding previously planted trees. In those same areas, other crews will remove invasive vines (mostly mile-a-minute) and pick up litter throughout the park.

Registration for this event is closed.
