Earth Day Volunteer Event

SCOW is excited to join the Potomac Riverkeeper Network (PRKN) to celebrate Earth Day by giving back and cleaning up the river we all love to sail on! We welcome volunteers of all ages to help remove single-use plastics and trash that has accumulated along the shoreline of Oxon Cove and Oxon Run - across the river from the Washington Sailing Marina.

A group of SCOW members will be participating in the morning Maryland shift from 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM. Maryland Volunteers will check-in at the Oxon Hill Bike Trail Parking Lot (6411 Oxon Hill Road, Oxon Hill, MD 20745) at 8:45 AM. Volunteers will be provided with river cleanup supplies, and be given an overview of the river cleanup site. Volunteers will then spend the shift in the allotted cleanup site and deposit full trash bags along Oxon Cove Trail for disposal.

Wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little wet and muddy. (If you have knee-high rubber boots or waders we recommend wearing them so you can help us tackle the trash below the shoreline!). Please bring water (in a reusable water bottle, of course) and snacks.
