Ward 8 Woods Conservancy

Ward 8 Woods Conservancy is a grassroots nonprofit organization that works to increase the health, beauty, and public enjoyment of urban forests East of the Anacostia River in Washington, DC. 

We engage residents as paid staff and as volunteers to restore the woodland ecology, build and maintain trails, and promote healthy and sustainable living.  We seek to make forests places of healing and empowerment.

We envision a future in which all Washingtonians enjoy clean air, clean water, and connection to the natural world in safe, well-maintained public lands. By caring for this small piece of earth, we do our part in the global struggle for a vibrant and livable planet for generations to come.
