Through My Anacostia Eyes: Environmental Problems and Possibilities

Anacostia Through My Eyes tells a story of love, loss, history, mystery, hope, reclamation, and anticipation in the natural world, through the lens of Anacostia High School students in Washington, D.C. Student reflections on the natural world were inspired by reading children’s literature on the environment, outdoor excursions, visits to local and federal environmental agencies, and talks with environmental professionals and activists. The book boasts 72 pages, 56 photos, and 44 essays, poems, and reports. It is the product of partnerships between Conservation Nation, author Caroline Brewer, the University of the District of Columbia, the Department of the Interior, and the Justice 40 Summer Internship Initiative at Anacostia High School.
