East Capitol Urban Farm
Team Leaders: Luke Meier, '08, Megan Meier, '08, Matt Raymer, '08
Who: We will be volunteering with East Capitol Farm. The University of the District of Columbia's College of Agriculture, Urban Sustainability & Environmental Sciences operates several food hubs in DC, which afford underserved communities access to fresh produce and other healthy foods. One of these hubs is the East Capitol Urban Farm in Ward 7.
What: We will be pulling weeds, filling raised beds with composted soil and covering the beds with tarps in preparation for the spring growing season. We'll also be cleaning and tidying the area.
When: Saturday, April 30 from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Where: 5901 East Capitol Street SE, at the corner of East Capitol & Southern Ave. East Capitol Urban Farm is public transportation friendly, located right across from the Capitol Heights metro station. On-street parking is available, but car-pooling is recommended.
What to Wear: Dress for the weather and farm-like work, wearing close-toed shoes. The organization will provide garden gloves. Feel free to wear your MLaw maize and blue attire! MLaw gear is available for purchase online.
Additional Information: Volunteers may bring young children. Lunch will be provided by the Development and Alumni Relations office.
In addition to registering with the Law School, all volunteers must fill out a liability waiver for the organization in Golden prior to the event.
