NNWB, Friends of Oxon Run (DC), and Friends of Holmes Run (VA) participated in a Nature Forward's assessment of NW Branch and two other streams. It evaluated the ability of aquatic life to thrive, human access, resilience to climate change, and biodiversity and habitats. While the report is complete, the story of our streams is being written all the time, and YOU can help make it tale of improvement.
Check out the report! You'll also find history, maps, and stream user interviews in an interactive format--and of course information about the grading criteria.
