Pentagon DU - Huntley Meadows Park Stream Clean Up
Details
Pentagon Chapter GreenWings help clean and pick up trash on Dogue Creek running through the Southwest end of Huntley Meadows Park in Alexandria, VA near the Hayfield Farm Swim Club in addition to maintaining 10 wood duck boxes installed in 2024. The event will start in the Hayfield Farm Swim Club parking lot at 9:00 AM (coffee and donuts will be available at 8:30 AM) on Sunday, March 15th, 2026. The Pentagon Chapter has partnered with Huntley Meadows for better than 15 years and supported their duck nesting program by providing 30 predator guards over the years for the park’s 22 wood duck boxes and 8 mallard nesting cones. Our GreenWings will be removing trash and debris from runoff in the park and creek. Additionally, they will help check our 10 existing wood duck boxes replacing bedding and counting eggshell fragments to get a count for the 2025 nesting season. This is a fun event to bring the whole family to and everyone will be home by lunchtime but please remember to bring boots and a change of clothes because things can get a bit wet & muddy.
