Wednesday's training is VIRTUAL (link will be sent after you RSVP), and Saturday will be in-person at Joe's Emporium in Rainier!

Anacostia Riverkeeper, funded by Chesapeake Bay Trust and working with partner organizations Joe's Movement Emporium, Friends of Lower Beaverdam Creek, Sustainable Hyattsville, and Anacostia Watershed Community Advisory Committee, will be conducting bi-weekly water quality monitoring to inform the public about up-to-date water quality health as well as help inform long-term policy decisions about local waterways.

All interested volunteers are required to attend a ONE of the two training sessions. Our main training will be held on Saturday April 29th in person at Joe's Movement Emporium, however a virtual training will be offered at 9am Wednesday April 26th. Note- those who attend virtually will need to schedule an in-person sampling demo before being invited to monitor.

We will be collecting water quality samples from 5 sites in Prince George's County, Maryland on tributaries of the Anacostia River. We need your help to sample these sites every other week throughout the summer! Sampling is done Wednesday with Thursday mornings as a back up for weather. All data goes online 24-hours later after the samples are analyzed.

Please reserve your spot by getting a ticket through this Eventbrite.
