Ward 8 Woods Cleanup

About this event

Tires in our parks are ugly, poison the soil, breed mosquitos, and pose a fire hazard. For decades, the city-downed woods behind the Congress Park apartments have been one of the worst illegal dump sites for tires in the DMV.

The largest tire clean-up in Ward 8 Woods history took place August 21, when veterans with the service organization The Mission Continues removed over 1,000 tires.

This winter we finished the job- and maybe break our own record.
