Join the Religious Education committee of Bethesda Friends Meeting and Young Friends group of the Sandy Spring Monthly Meeting for an intergenerational service project hosted by the Ward 8 Woods Conservancy on Saturday, May 4, 2:00-4:00 p.m. We will meet at 3847 8th St SE, Washington, DC, the site of a long-demolished public house complex, to heal the land and interrupt the cycle of public disinvestment and neglect.

 The work includes cutting back invasive weeds and collecting trash, so dress for the occasion with closed-toed shoes with good traction (hiking or work boots are ideal, sneakers are ok); full-length pants (no shorts) to protect against thorns, ticks, and poison ivy; wear clothes you won't mind getting dirty; bring your own water bottles.

 Our host for this private event is Nathan Harrington of SSMM, who is the Executive Director of the Ward 8 Woods Conservancy. Nathan will provide gloves, trash bags, tools, and a cooler of ice water.

            There is ample street parking at the site and carpooling is encouraged. Congress Heights Metro Station on the green line is the closest metro, about 1 mile away.

            F/friends of all ages are welcome. This is a great opportunity to get to know our families with children. Questions? Email Natasha Nazareth at natasha@dmvbusinesslawyers.com.
