(Washington, DC) – Tomorrow, Thursday, April 22 at 11 am, Mayor Muriel Bowser and Department of Energy and Environment Director Tommy Wells will commemorate the 51st Earth Day by launching the Anacostia Green Boat Program at Kingman + Heritage Islands. In this first-ever District program, “citizen scientists” will enjoy boat rides and collect debris from the Anacostia River throughout the summer.
