grant, is the largest we've earned in our 24-year history. In partnership with local,
state and federal governments, we will use the funds to restore wetlands and streams
and develop rain gardens in the watershed. According to the Maryland Department 
of Natural Resources [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0012_suO8jjBxy42C7msqwGpaXfExqQz_IHKjBl_jj5-vcJBaUwDlUWZpLfV5KvbPkCjMxHMOsvfE9PXqeKhW0JoCBdRpKjZGaJGrvjPAdb_eXv1Lf2aXIC-8KtVaDImfvi4EwNxYXx5eiGQ8EYUzymJS2W_HGKdiAHUz8a2U0GAlj5qN4DPYS7VsyrVNeb-WfVzcF-7AzoAVB7FQUjFig8u54pQGSNLZUmb1AyT1eb6Ns8A3TvE4vhqq2iOXnbm55bkaaiJrpwv1w=],
"These investments create green jobs, and provide habitat, mitigate flood hazards,
and prevent soil erosion."

We're thankful to be entrusted by the state with such a generous grant to    implement
high-return projects to reduce the pollutant runoff to the Chesapeake Bay.

Do you recreate on the Anacostia River?

One of our main goals is to clean up the Anacostia River for the health and safety
of our watershed communities. AWS and the University of Maryland are working together
on a study called Project RECREATE [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0012_suO8jjBxzIH7-2EkzjXpJi_8bkhf3On-t0pciYVAqmeT2IMGsTKFIWmH3vQsSRIExfwIMk0Xt2W9vXNqe3qhliNK19Ndp-IyA-60wMuWvoFNNgays6nc3saoR-BB1MtI47SwFPFLqLN6ncvkUmk2rC767AKFVsF2ao0zLp6yNsBPBqDQKTwob1tIp_oASaGLJ7oqUHIQAo9jJo3gr1LPdwn_0uv5bkti5C_Hmzq90970_lEYmZaBScwvFDIjQQtR0iITCh2ph0aCmXMCqAKR3xqqMtC7ouCDs5gh1mCEn9sz7-UK0iJw==].
Results of the study will help us educate watershed communities about environmental
health issues, leverage policies and equip them with the knowledge to recreate safely
on the Anacostia River.

If you row, paddle, boat, fish or engage in other recreational activities

on the river, please consider helping by taking our anonymous survey [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0012_suO8jjBxybjByP2qFfxR9QO-KBw0qWa8QGy5sWWgnfPkurQoKLqBmTv2Y3yQRAz4yR3myQLhOVKYHYOGM_POSxzM7vuaw2rZxWlca2l0nORA3iprJGms1iHU_ZsDSBJryei1Atcl10hAdt1L7BJkDj4CXDiQHc_LuiPF3hOp3xebXadG3_dOp-t6wjM19W05WUgIc3sv4AK01QA0vQZSEdKl8oDJcovFmtwX0DG6wTejgf-we2aWC-87Vw70ergUGmiHS9baafEWZmJ2MHAffQpyZmZ34RqWnlyupxgBw=].

Thanks to your help we're able to Do More!

We truly appreciate those who supported us during last month's Do More 24 online
 fundraiser. Not only did we raise funds for river restoration, we gained many new
friends thanks to your re-tweets, mentions, likes, shares and good old word-of-mouth.
Thanks to all our friends of the river!
