My Nonprofit Reviews

Having admired the wonderful volunteer network that Rock Creek Conservancy developed for organizing cleanup work along the creek and the adjacent parkland, I joined the board last year. For a small newish group it is extremely well run, with formal procedures for educating new board members, well-organized committees, and tightly run meetings, that also are enjoyable. The potential for helping defend and improve Rock Creek, and for using Rock Creek to educate and exercise and entertain the residents of the Washington metropolitan area, is so great, that the Conservancy is expanding rapidly. We are working on a new strategic plan to determine our priorities for work over the next 5 to 10 years. Meanwhile, the current intern ran a wonderfully well organized Extreme Cleanup this month, and my team collected 28 bags of flood debris and over a ton of branches, which the Park service hauled away promptly. I was certainly impressed.
