Anacostia Explorers -- The Anacostia Explorers series was produced in partnership with the National Geographic Education Foundation.

Unveiled in November 2001 to honor the National Geographic Society victims of the September 11th Pentagon tragedy, Anacostia Explorers provides local elementary school students with an innovative opportunity to document and broadcast their participation in a hands-on environmental education project on Kingman and Heritage Islands and other significant locations. To produce the series, students were taught basic applications of TV production and then broadcasted their experiences through the production of six educational videos into classrooms and homes throughout the nation. They also began the "osprey cam" project in which osprey birds nesting on the Anacostia River can be viewed in real time at www.ecc1.org.
