Dumbarton Oaks Needs Help with Storm Clean-up

The Dumbarton Oaks Park Conservancy and the National Park Service are asking for the Georgetown community to band together to help with cleanup.

Volunteers are encouraged to bring family and friends to help out on Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to noon.

"Work will involve pruning and sawing fallen tree limbs, hauling tree debris to pick-up points, and raking paths," an email from the Conservancy explains.

Volunteers should wear "lightweight long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and closed-toed shoes."

The conservancy will supply all the tools (and water and snacks) to help get the job done.

To register to volunteer, email Ann Aldrich at aaldrich@dopark.org. Plan on meeting at the top of Lovers' Lane at R Street, NW at 9 a.m. Saturday.
