Millbrook Marsh Nature Center is seen in State College, Pa., on April 11, 2018. Millbrook Marsh is a 62-acre park featuring a two-acre calcareous fen, a rare habitat fed by groundwater seeping through limestone bedrock, creating alkaline soil conditions that support specialized plants.

Trees killed by the reconnected floodplain of a major stream restoration on a tributary of the Severn River known as Jabez Branch III are left standing to provide beneficial woody debris and habitat in Millersville, Md., on May 23, 2025. Funded by the Resilience Authority of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, with $8.1 million provided by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and $977,640 from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation's EPA Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Grants program, the project was completed in late 2024 and spans roughly 2,600 feet of the stream. It was built by Underwood & Associates, Inc., to address severe erosion that was sending sediment pollution downstream into the Severn River. The design filled a 10-foot-deep eroded channel to reconnect the stream to its floodplain, using sand, gravel and wood chips to create riffles and step pools in what's known as a regenerative stormwater conveyance. "It's now controlling those pulses of floods," said Sara Caldes, the Severn Riverkeeper. "The amount of habitat that's been created in, like, one year is what I find most interesting."

I promised the coloured one and here it is!
Even though the other one was way better in terms on focus and quality of the shot I still prefer coloured photos sorry :P
Just like the other one this was on manual except ISO.
Enjoy!!!!
A team from the District of Columbia Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) conducts spring habitat sampling for invertebrates at the site of a stream restoration on Pope Branch in Southeast Washington, D.C., on March 28, 2019. The entire watershed of 1.6-mile Pope Branch falls inside the District of Columbia and feeds into the Anacostia River. Almost 5,000 linear feet of the stream was restored in 2016.

UNEP has provided remote and real-time advice to the Government of Nepal, international agencies, and the UN system on dealing with the environmental issues linked to the the earthquake. UNEP also actively participated in a Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) completed in June 2015.
In order to ensure that environmental issues are addressed during the reconstruction process, UNEP is working closely with the World Wildlife Fund for Nature on a rapid environmental assessment to inform the recovery process. In addition, UNEP has also facilitated the establishment of a coalition between WWF, International Union for Conservation of Nature and the Kathmandu-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), with the objectives of promoting good environmental management principles and promoting healthy ecosystems in the reconstruction progress.

Brief: To create a campaign about a environmental issue (I chose the wastage of electricity).
Last day of field work for Gillespie's dissertation at Eliza Spring, Austin, TX (Home to endangered Barton Springs Salamander). Photo courtesy Hayley Gillespie.
Using a novel technique that is less invasive, less lethal, and more informative than traditional methods, Gillespie identified what prey the endangered Barton Springs Salamander chooses to eat. The salamander research and details on the new technique, called stable isotope analysis, were published in a recent study in the January 15, 2013 issue of PLOS ONE.

Assistant Professor Kelly Deuerling's Soil Environment students use soil augers to dig up and describe the soils they extract from the Mesic Forest located in the Cofrin Memorial Arboretum on the UW-Green Bay campus.
Image Craft's ICON Themed Environments division created this new suite of office furniture, custom designed for our recently expanded Colorado office, now located in Centennial.
Shown here in various stages of production are a reception desk, media wall with podium, conference room table, storage and display credenzas, and more! The furnishings, primarily composed of shop ply and MDF, feature a zebra wood laminate with folkstone gray and matte black laminate work surfaces.
This project was produced entirely in-house in our Phoenix headquarters, from design to fabrication, and ultimately, through on-site installation. Backlit lettering and graphics are also part of the overall concept, and will be the final addition. We'll add more photos here as the project progresses.

California dams are constantly being decommissioned for various reasons. Who is responsible for destroying the hard work Californian's have contributed to the watershed? Come along with us for a California Sun Outdoor Adventure as we explore why the dams are being removed and who is responsible, and worst yet, who is paying for it.
An agreement was reached regarding the removal of Copco 1, Copco 2, Iron Gate Dam and the J.C. Boyle Dam all along the Klamath River. Has Klamath River Dam been removed? Not yet and we are here to create a movement to stop the removal of our dams in order to preserve the current habitats and benefits of our dams.
​We challenge the narrative that the removal of the dams will be worth the money and effort in terms of ecological conservation. We reject the actions and question the agenda of those parties under agreement.
An artwork titled, "Eracism," by Yetunde Mondie Sapp, 19, is seen at the Anacostia Unmapped 2.0 exhibition at the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities gallery in Washington on Sept. 12, 2018. According to the exhibit, Sapp, who has lived in Anacostia since the age of three, saw parallels between the displacement of African Americans in neighborhoods across the District of Columbia and the "erasure" of the local Nacotchtank Indians. According to the National Park Service, "The village of Nacotchtank (from which the name Anacostia is derived) was the largest of the three American Indian villages located in the Washington area and is believed to have been a major trading center."

A large Sugar Gum tree branch fell down in the local school over summer. I had a look and in the branches was a dead magpie and a nest. There was plastic tangled around the magpie's foot. It looks as though the parents used some plastic in the building of the nest. When the youngster grew up he became tangled and couldn't fly. He must have starved to death, hanging upside down by his foot.
On Sunday 9 September three Mosman households gave a tour of their homes to celebrate Sustainable House Day. The tour, which was part of Council’s Living Environment Series, was a huge success with participants having the opportunity to learn about solar panels, water harvesting, composting, sustainable building materials, edible gardens and more.
The tour highlighted how easy it is to make your home more sustainable. Whether you live in a unit, townhouse or free standing dwelling there is always something you can do to reduce your ecological footprint.
The homes on the tour included a Federation period residence in the Orlando Conservation Area, a free standing home built in 1976 and a strata title unit in the heart of Mosman. Although all the homes were very different, the common theme was that they had all been retrofitted to become more sustainable.
Participants were amazed at the amount of food that can be grown in a small backyard, the amount of money that can be saved through energy efficiency and the creative ways to capture water for re-use. The tour was part of a national event which sees hundreds of sustainable homes open each year.
It was an extremely inspirational day with participants going home with new ideas and enthusiasm to make their own homes and lives more sustainable.

Employees supported a special Earth Month celebration with the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew. Around 100 volunteers supported this important environmental organisation through either gardening with the horticulture team, or lantern making for their award-winning winter lantern trails. The activities ended with a lunch and talk from Kew Director of Science, Alex Antonelli on biodiversity.
