Our River: The Anacostia

From East of the River:

The Anacostia Park and Community Collaborative (APACC) was founded in 2015 by Phil Pannell of the Anacostia Coordinating Council and Doug Siglin. It has grown and begun to emerge as a major leader of the private sector in efforts to engage the citizens of Wards 7 and 8 in activities related to the Anacostia River and adjacent public lands, and to involve Ward 6 folks as they turn towards an ever more attractive water body and shoreline offering many forms of engagement.

As the leaders of the group would say, their main goal is to make “the River and its park system the best possible resource for residents of Wards 7 and 8”. But they would like it all to attract and entertain whoever is drawn near.
