Causes: Environment, Water, Water Resources, Wetlands Conservation & Management
Mission: The anacostia waterfront trust's mission is to help to create a resilient, equity-enhancing anacostia waterfront and corridor, on a restored anacostia river, for everyone to enjoy.
Programs: River restoration:the trust was established to be a leader in efforts to reduce stormwater runoff and eliminate toxic chemicals from the anacostia river. Restoring the river's health is the first step in transforming it into a natural and recreational asset for residents and visitors alike. The trust is spearheading efforts that will allow for the safe and healthy enjoyment of the anacostia river.
community strengthening:the trust, working closely with local stakeholder groups, encourages community efforts to promote investment and economic development in neighborhoods along the anacostia river. The trust encourages inclusive efforts to create jobs, promote health and strengthen communities. The trust places special emphasis on addressing issues facing disadvantaged neighborhoods east of the river.
park improvements:the trust works with waterfront landowners, both governmental and private, to devise and implement a shared vision for creating a beautiful and dynamic civic space stretching along the length of the anacostia. The anacostia parklands, with their sweeping views of the nation's capital, have the potential to be world-class amenities. The trust envisions an active, healthy riverfront, with a variety of vibrant programming, which would benefit residents and attract visitors from around the world.
