Removing a 500lb + piece of trash is not an easy feat. Watch how we slowly removed it from the trail over the course of 2 weeks. Without 6 volunteers and over 3 hours of volunteer time this trash would still be sitting in the river. Donate! Mountvernontrail.org/donate

This past Saturday, volunteers cut down invasive honeysuckle trees and picked up a LOT of trash near Four Mile Run and the Potomac River. Our exceptional roster of volunteers included mighty group of Wolverines from West Potomac High School and their Global Care Club who worked feverishly to uncover

Help us raise money to replace 7 aging and damaged picnic tables along the Mount Vernon Trail. These tables provide much-needed rest stops and gathering spaces for walkers, runners, and cyclists enjoying one of Arlington's most popular outdoor destinations.

Watch us pile 2,456 pounds of trash in under 1 minute. This monumental task wouldn't have been possible without the help of our cargo bike fleet! @bunchbike.com @ternbicycles.com
We used 300+ bags for this trash cleanup. Donate to help us replenish our stock: mountvernontrail.org/donate/
