My Green Weekend in and around D.C. – a new weekly blog feature

If the activity on the National Mall this weekend isn’t your “cup of tea”, there are an exceptional abundance of great outdoor picks in the following fifteen day hikes, three backpacking-related and multiday activities (plus three future ones), six boating trips, one canoeing/camping trip (plus one future one), ten short walks (plus four identical future ones),  and two volunteer opportunities.   You’ll find me at the 27-acre nature hike at artist’s Gari Melcher’s estate on Sunday!  I also recommend trying the local, sustainable menu at Kemble Park Tavern on MacArthur Blvd. in Northwest, D.C. and making peach cobbler after your visit to one of the areas’ Farmers Markets.
