Program areas at Rock Creek Conservancy
Restoration:The Conservancy is the voice of Rock Creek, speaking on numerous storwmater, combined sewer, and other pollution issues throughout the year. The Conservancy engaged thousands of volunteers to remove litter, sample water quality, and restore forests throughout the year to restore Rock Creek and its parklands. Events like the Extreme Cleanup and the Weed Wrangle, plus weekly stewardship offered hundreds the opportunity to remove litter from the entirety of the watershed in DC and Montgomery County. Efforts to protect Rock Creek from a proposed expansion of I-495 continued.
Environmental Stewardship:The Conservancy continued people-powered restoration efforts across 15 acres of forest habitat, at five mini-oases in Rock Creek Park, a proof of concept for landscape-scale habitat restoration. Weekly volunteer events and training of volunteer leaders continued inside and outside the park, though often in the form of socially-distant stewardship to adapt to the circumstances of the pandemic. Water quality and litter monitoring collaborations with volunteers and regional environmental organizations continued. The Recreate Responsibly campaign was launched to educate park visitors about ways to reduce their impact on park resources while enjoying outdoor recreation. A program series, Race, History, and Rock Creek, explores the intersection of those issues.
