The District is one of the top 10 U.S. cities for wildlife

The National Wildlife Foundation has honored DC as one of the Top 10 Cities for Wildlife! The Anacostia River corridor plays an important role in providing habitat for many different plants and animals in DC. Check out this tweet from the District Department of Energy and Environment:

Of course, the corridor is also home to tens of thousands of residents and many great neighborhoods. Let’s make sure that the river helps the District remain both a great city for wildlife, and for people!
