Hike Trails in NW DC to St. Sophia Greek Festival
Hike Trails in NW DC to St. Sophia Greek Festival
Walk about 6+ miles on a variety of trails and some streets in NW DC to discover where SCPRO helped save a park, a trail that may be threatened by construction, the place where the UN was started, a Memorial to a Lebanese poet, and a lively Greek Festival at St. Sophia Cathedral where the hike will officially end – about a mile from the trailhead. There will be some elevation changes and one stream crossing. More information about the Festival here: [https://www.dcgreeks.com/event_display.asp?EventID=2026051502](https://www.dcgreeks.com/event_display.asp?EventID=2026051502). Wear weather appropriate clothing and footwear, bring water, sunscreen and bug repellent and money to purchase some wonderful food at the Festival (and to give a $2 cash voluntary donation to the local Sierra Club). A positive attitude is also recommended!

Adventuring Pre-Summer Picnic 2026
Adventuring Pre-Summer Picnic 2026
Join us for Adventuring’s second PRE-Summer Picnic! We've decided it's just too hot in late July for picnics, so we're moving this annual event to May. We’re trying something new this year: Instead of a potluck, we are asking everyone to **bring your own lunch**. There is **no charge** this year for attending. We’ll be providing water, iced tea and desserts. We’ll also have an optional hike or two, plus a few games. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t hiked with us before or have only attended a few events – come get to know us and tell us what you’d like to see with Adventuring! Please **RSVP** via Meetup by 5 pm on Wednesday, May 14, so we can plan for the numbers. **Location:** Rock Creek Park at Picnic Grove #1 Shoemaker St NW, DC (just off of Beach Drive and across the road from Pierce Mill) **Directions**: • Driving/biking: enter ‘Rock Creek Park Picnic Grove #1’ into Google Maps • For those who prefer narrative directions: From Connecticut Ave/Tilden Street: As soon as Tilden changes from a divided to undivided road, take a right into the parking lot From Mt Pleasant/Park Road: After crossing the bridge over Rock Creek, pass Pierce Mill on your right, then turn left into the parking lot Via Red Line: Once at either Van Ness or Cleveland Park station, it’s about a 20-minute hike to the grove using either Tilden Street or the Melvin Hazen Trail.

May 17 Invasive Plant Removal at TRI
May 17 Invasive Plant Removal at TRI
April showers bring May flowers! We are NPS Weed Warriors and Arlington Regional Master Naturalists and you should volunteer with us on Sunday, May 17 to learn about nature and remove invasive plants from everyone's favorite urban island. Meet us at the entrance to the bridge (on the parking lot side, look for the sign) at 10:00 and bring your garden gloves and loppers/pruners if you have them. If not, we can provide gloves and tools. Wear long sleeves and pants and don't forget a water bottle. We will have tasks ranging from easy (cutting English ivy and honeysuckle vines from trees) to hard (sawing down bush honeysuckle). Parking at TRI can be tight if it's a pretty day. When the parking lot is full, you can park in Rosslyn and take the trail down. If you can bike or walk or take public transit, that's wonderful. We'll see you there! Erica, Stephanie, and Heidi P.S. If you can't wait until then to RIP (Remove Invasive Plants!), go here to find more volunteer opportunities in Arlington parks: [Volunteer to Restore Native Habitat – Arlington Regional Master Naturalists (armn.org)](https://armn.org/volunteer-opportunities/)
