Join thousands of volunteers in a multi-state effort as we do our part in cleaning up the Potomac Watershed. Reston Association is hosting several sites along Snakeden Branch, Colvin Run, and The Glade, all tributaries to the Potomac River.  Come learn about our watersheds and see what "interesting" artifacts end up in our streams.

Reston Sites:

Snakeden Branch – Upper, near Hunters Woods Village Center

Nature Center – In Nature Center to Lake Audubon

Colvin Run – Near Tall Oaks Shopping Center

Stevenage Road – Behind Home Depot and Wendy’s

Bright Pond – Between Bright Pond and Woodbrook Lane

Hidden Creek – Behind Lake Anne and Unitarian Universalist Church.

Please wear sturdy shoes or boots and bring work gloves.  Come prepared to get a little wet and dirty.  Gloves and trash bags will be provided.  Join us at the Walker Nature Education Center afterwards for a pizza lunch.

For more information or to volunteer, contact Ha Brock, RA community outreach specialist II, at habrock@reston.org or 703-435-7986.
