In response to the team’s efforts, Anne Ambler, representing Neighbors of the Northwest Branch, stated: “Thanks so much to the Blair Crew Team for a positively super cleanup! And from the pictures, that cleanup was long overdue! You probably got some stuff that had been there for years, and I see you did get up that large ravine. I wasn’t sure you would get that far, but it was awash in plastic bags, so I’m delighted that you did! I agree, it is very obvious that we need a fee for bags. Given a value, bags are much less likely to be tossed. I hope the team felt satisfied with their morning’s work! Please give them a BIG thank you from the Neighbors of the Northwest Branch, from the Northwest Branch itself, and from the Anacostia River.”
