AWS Releases 25th Anniversary State of the River Report and the 2014 River Report
Card

What does it take to clean a river? In honor of their 25th Anniversary the Anacostia
Watershed Society (AWS) addresses that question with a beautiful 12-page State of
the River Report, chronicling the people, stories and work needed to make the Anacostia
River fishable and swimmable by 2025.

The publication of the 25th Anniversary State of the River Report coincides with
 the release of the 2014 State of the Anacostia River Report Card.  In the Report
Card, AWS grades the water quality of the river, as well as choices in public policy,
to provide a benchmark of progress, create accountability for decision makers entrusted
with the health of the river, and point to the most effective solutions to restore
it.

Governor O'Malley Cuts Ribbon for the Anacostia Water Trail

On Tuesday, June 5, Governor Martin O'Malley, Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards, National
Park Service Deputy Director Christina Goldfuss, Prince George's County Executive
Rushern Baker, the Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Commission Vice Chair
Elizabeth Hewlett and AWS President Jim Foster participated in a ribbon cutting 
to officially launch the Anacostia Water Trail! The ribbon cutting, part of the 
official launch of the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail, was set against
a backdrop of kayakers enjoying the Anacostia River at Bladensburg Waterfront Park.
The creation of the water trails is part of a larger effort to promote outdoor experiences
in the State of Maryland and recreational opportunities available to Anacostia Watershed
residents.

The Anacostia Water Trail Map and Guide, created earlier this year in partnership
with the National Park Service, brings together all of the resources and activities
available on the Anacostia River and guides users to access points and features 
of the trail.

Do You Enjoy Fishing or Want to Learn How?

AWS, University of Maryland and Anacostia Community Museum are hosting FREE Recreational
Fishing Days once a month on Saturdays this summer and fall! Fishing gear and bait

of a larger effort to study the health of the Anacostia River's fish populations
 and research potential threats to those who consume them. By participating you 
will have an opportunity to learn how to fish, receive tips on techniques and safe
fishing practices and help us collect fish.  Participants who donate caught fish
 will receive a $10 gift card.

A Night to Celebrate AWS's History and the People Who Made it All Possible

As AWS celebrates the organization's 25th anniversary, it is    important to reflect
on our past and thank all those individuals who were essential to our creation and
involved in the early stages of restoring the Anacostia River. On May 15th, we gathered
all of those amazing people together to celebrate AWS's accomplishments, reminisce
about the struggles our founder and his network of dedicated people were originally
faced with, and share our vision and hope for the river in the future.

The 25th Anniversary Reunion Dinner event, held at our historic offices in Bladensburg,
was a wonderful success and brought together the key players in the creation of 
the organization and its early struggles to bring attention to the river. The evening
featured a presentation by Founder Robert Boone, which was followed by toasts and
stories told by influential people in business, law, government, nonprofits, and
 the private sector, who all painted an inspirational picture of their determination
to restore the Anacostia River.
