Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
Ward 8 Woods Conservancy works to rejuvenate and enhance the beauty, ecological health, and public enjoyment of the more than 500 acres of forest in the Ward 8 section of Washington, DC. We engage residents as paid staff and as volunteers to restore the woodland ecology, build trails, and promote healthy and sustainable living. We use the woods as a tool for healing and empowerment.
-
PARK STEWARD PROGRAM - The Park Steward program provides income, meaningful work and paid training to residents who face barriers to employment. Park Stewards undo decades of neglect of the parks in Ward 8 by removing trash and invasive species. In 2024 they collectively worked 3,755 hours. Together with volunteers, they removed 285,000 pounds of trash from public parklands, including 2,333 tires and 7,422 trash bags filled, and cut invasive vines from 1,837 trees.
Expenses $138,005

OUTREACH PROGRAM/CLEANITCLAIMIT Our Community Outreach Coordinator spreads awareness about the organization and its work. He canvasses areas where our Park Stewards and volunteers are doing cleanup, maintains our social media presence, and tables at community events. These efforts support our volunteer and advocacy work while promoting anti-littering and waste reduction. He works with residents, property managers and city agencies to remedy trash pollution hot spots.
Expenses $46,002

VOLUNTEER PROGRAM - In 2024, Ward 8 Woods welcomed 464 volunteers at 31 volunteer events. Suitland Parkway Volunteer Days were held the first Saturday of each month, and Shepherd Parkway Community Clean-Ups every second Saturday. We also hosted eleven private groups bay special arrangement. These volunteers worked alongside our Park Stewards to remove more than a quarter of a million pounds of trash.
Expenses $23,001

SCHOOL GARDEN PROGRAM Our School Garden Coordinator leads approximately 25 children in grades PK through 5 in garden-based learning at a neighborhood public school.

The Garden Coordinator maintains the garden and shares vegetables with residents when school is not in session.
Expenses $11,500

ADVOCACY Our Executive Director is a forceful and effective advocate for environmental justice in Ward 8.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
