Alexandria, VA – Chesapeake Bay Awareness Week is from June 7 to 15. Alexandria will promote the waterway’s history and preservation. The city is inviting people to take part in the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s annual Clean the Bay Day.
The Department of Transportation and Environmental Services is hosting a cleanup event in our area on Saturday, June 7 from 9 to 11 a.m. Taking place at Oronoco Bay Park (100 Madison St.), city staff will hand out gloves, trash grabbers, and bags, and will have first aid kits onsite. Feel free to bring sunscreen, snacks, and water. Be sure to wear appropriate clothing.
In addition to the cleanup, you can also protect the Bay by keeping pet waste out of storm drains, keeping Alexandria litter-free, and reducing or completely eliminating the use of lawn fertilizer.
