Rock Creek Conservancy is hosting their 13th annual Extreme Cleanup event this April, in celebration of Earth Month and to restore our beloved urban parks. This event offers cleanup opportunities throughout the entirety of the Rock Creek watershed as a way for our Rock Creek community to come together and give back to the local environment.
In 2021, Rock Creek Conservancy will be working with the Glenmont Forest neighborhood to promote stormwater solutions through green infrastructure and other mitigation efforts, including ongoing cleanup activities. Join them Saturday, April 10th to pick up litter from the neighborhood and reduce the amount of trash, the visible form of stormwater pollution, in our community. Register for a cleanup event in the Glenmont Forest neighborhood or Wheaton Claridge Park, complete a socially-distant individual cleanup, or check out our event page for more opportunities.

A new USPS mailbox has been installed at the NE corner of Livingston and Newton. Many thanks to the neighbor who proposed this addition! This mailbox has a new, secure design that prevents thieves from removing items from the box. As a consequence of this security feature, only letters, not packages, can be deposited in this mailbox, which is oriented so that pedestrians can easily deposit mail.
Pickup time is 3:00 PM Monday - Saturday.
For more information on the replacement of gas lines in our neighborhood, view a presentation from Washington Gas.
