Potomac River Cleanup Day April 14 at Two State Parks

Volunteers Sought for Two Sites in St. Mary’s County

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources invites volunteers to get outside to help clean up along the Potomac River in St. Mary’s County, from 9 a.m. to noon April 14. Crews will meet at two different locations: Newtowne Neck State Park and Point Lookout State Park.

Volunteers should wear closed-toed shoes, a long-sleeved shirt and long pants.

Point Lookout will have a sign-in table at the pavilion at the swim beach and Newtowne Neck will have a sign-in table at the horseshoe-shaped parking lot, on the right-hand side past the old barns. No entrance fees will be charged. 

More information about either cleanup is available by phone at 301-872-5688, or by email to joshua.witt@maryland.gov (Point Lookout) or william.james@maryland.gov (Newtowne Neck).
