Save the Date: Saturday September 27, 2025, from 10am to noon

The St. Matthew’s Creation Care Green Team will celebrate the Season of Creation with an evening of paddling on the beautiful Anacostia River. A river guide from the Anacostia Watershed Society (AWS) will lead us on a scenic educational tour. The Anacostia has changed dramatically over the last 400 years – from a place of quiet natural abundance and American Indian settlements to a colonial seaport and bustling corridor in the nation’s capital. Exploring the Anacostia River by paddling offers a way to get to know the river and its resources.

We will leave from the canoe landing at Bladensburg Waterfront Park (4601 Annapolis Rd, Bladensburg, MD 20710) at 10am. We’ll be posting a registration link soon.
