Hains Point Clean Up

Looking for a simple, meaningful way to give back to your national parks? Join us for a weekly volunteer cleanup at Hains Point—a beautiful, wildlife‑rich corner of the National Mall and Memorial Parks!

This is a low‑effort, high‑reward opportunity—perfect for office team building or service learning groups that that want to enjoy a relaxing walk in the park while helping preserve one of DC’s most unique natural spaces. Whether you're reconnecting with nature, getting some fresh air, or looking for a peaceful break at the start of the week, your time makes a real difference.

About Hains Point

Nestled between the Washington Channel and the Potomac River, Hains Point is one of the most biologically rich areas in the National Mall and Memorial Parks. The mix of shrub and herbaceous habitats makes it an essential haven for wildlife.

What you might see while volunteering:

• Over 250 species of birds, making it a top spot for birdwatching in DC

• Stunning river views and peaceful green spaces right in the heart of downtown

Why Your Help Matters

Even in an urban park, small actions help protect vital habitat. Volunteers play a key role in keeping Hains Point healthy for both wildlife and visitors. Our facilities team does an amazing job in keeping the National Mall clean and beautiful everyday, so come out and show your appreciation by lending a hand!
