Thank you Park Ranger Will and @wolftrapnps for a great behind the scenes tour of the Filene Center. We got to walk on the stage, see where the performers get ready, and learn more about the history of Wolf Trap.
They offer free tours from October-April. Learn more here:

We're compelled to take a moment to express deep gratitude for all of this year's #TranspoBINGO sponsors.💫 They are rolling (and walking and biking and transit'ing) in at a pace we almost can't keep up with. Check them out at www.transpobingo.com.

Yesterday we collected 1,864 lbs of trash in 2 hours! It was a cold morning, but that didn't stop our volunteers by cleaning up the trash 2025 left behind.

As an all-volunteer group, every dollar we receive goes towards improving the trail. Nearly 2/3rds of our donations are received in December, and the amount raised determines what additional work we can take on.
