<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Why Dueling Creek? This little waterway drains the southern part of Mount Rainier, and part of NE DC, flows through Cottage City and Colmar Manor, and finally through the Colmar Manor Park and into
the Anacostia River. It’s one of our local creeks, and plastic trash from our community blows downhill and into the creek. Cleaning it up allows for a more ecological and scenic little stream, makes it easier for wildlife to manage, and helps you explore and
learn more about your local watershed. Read more about it here <a href="https://friendsofduelingcreek.org/">https://friendsofduelingcreek.org/</a></span></div>

<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Most of the cleanup areas are easy to get to, and bags and gloves are provided - kids and different abilities are welcome. However, we are looking for a few hardy groups of folks who are prepared
to navigate muddy off-trail areas, in search of the big hidden trash jams that are hard to get to. If you can come ready for off-trail work, we will help you have an adventure!</span></div>
