Extreme Clean in Twinbrook: Two Tons of Trash Cleared From Rock Creek Park
Volunteers from real estate development firm worked with Rock Creek Conservancy for ‘Extreme Cleanup’
On what was dubbed the Twinbrook Extreme Cleanup, nearly 50 volunteers cleared away 4,000 pounds of debris along the Twinbrook portion of Rock Creek Park on Saturday, company officials announced. For the second year in a row, volunteers with JBG Companies, a Chevy-Chase-based real estate company, teamed up with Rock Creek Conservancy. This year, the crews set out to do some extreme cleaning in a wooded area off Fishers Lane near a few of JBG's developments—Twinbrook Station, the Health and Human Services campus and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease building, which is under construction. The folks at JBG submitted this photo to Patch on Monday.
