Join Anacostia Riverkeeper on a two-hour pontoon boat tour of the Anacostia River. We will discuss the human and natural history of the river, the threats it currently faces, and the work being done today to counter those threats.

Food and drink are welcome (including alcohol), but be prepared to keep your litter from blowing away (boats are breezy). Please dress in layers and assume the weather will be windier and chillier on the water; spring is unpredictable, but it’s always cooler on the boat.

You must sign a waiver prior to boarding the boat. (We’ll also have blank forms on site.)

Instructor

Trey Sherard is the outreach coordinator and staff biologist for Anacostia Riverkeeper, where he’s worked for most of his five years in D.C. Born and raised in Wilmington, NC, he grew up in and on the ocean and salt marshes until attending Duke University, where he received a BS in biology with a concentration in marine biology. Eventually, he found himself in D.C. at the intersection of people, policy, science, and environment, and he lucked into a job that has him outside driving boats while he connects people to their environment, and especially to their river.
