A Tale of Three Creeks: Photos from D.C.’s Stream Restoration Projects

From The Washington Informer:

The District, a city built at the meeting point of two rivers, has lost about 70% of the smaller waterways that defined its geography 125 years ago. Over the past decade, D.C. has begun working to protect some of the streams and creeks that still exist today, many of which face major threats. 

Late last month, federal and local officials — along with a few D.C. activists — took a tour of three streams in Ward 7, each of which is in different stages of restoration work.
