Big Spring Run in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
Max Kirchner, 9, collects a grasshopper while his brother Sam, 6, watches on his family's farm, near a stretch of Big Spring Run in Lancaster County, Pa., on July 25, 2020. Before a massive restoration effort in 2011, the stream ran like "chocolate milk" because of sediment erosion, according to the boy's father, landowner Matthew Kirchner. When 20,000 tons of legacy sediment were removed, it allowed natural wetlands to quickly return and better handle storm flows. "It's like a filter system," Kirchner said.
