DOEE Secures $200,000 to the Air Quality Pollution Program for Violations of the District’s Air Quality Regulations
The 19th annual Rooting DC is a FREE, all- day event that provides education and community building around urban agriculture and food systems, with the goal of cultivating personal, community, and environmental wellbeing. It is the District’s central meeting ground for land stewards and garden lovers to strengthen their connection with crops and community in the nation’s capital. The Rooting DC program includes interactive workshops on crop production, food preparation/preservation/waste-prevention, and agroecology as a source of education and art. The event also hosts an exhibitor hall of local businesses, non-profits, and government entities from across the metropolitan region.
The event was first held in 2007 as a small gathering of about 150 urban gardeners and has grown into a perennial gathering, attracting several hundred attendees each year. Rooting DC is sponsored by DOEE.
