This is the oxon run creek that sits behind #thearcfarm! It's a beautiful space that has been polluted, like most of our waterways, with trash! On April 22nd we are hosting an #earthday cleanup so we can work to create a space that is safe and clean for the residents of the community and the kids who enjoy this space throughout the year. We are calling on our neighbors to come out and help us clean up the creek! Click the #linkinbio to #RSVP! #eastoftheriver #potomacwatershedcleanup #protectourwater #urbanfarm #dc #waterprotectors
