Oxon Run flows through Ward 8 of Washington, D.C., on July 24, 2024. The stream begins in Prince George's County, Maryland, and eventually joins Oxon Creek before reaching the Potomac River in the District of Columbia. As it passes through Oxon Run Park in Southeast Washington, the stream is confined to a concrete channel due to flood control projects and urbanization in the 20th century. Originally a natural, meandering stream, Oxon Run and many of its tributaries were altered significantly, with some converted into storm drains. Established in 1971 on land previously part of the federally managed Oxon Run Parkway, Oxon Run Park now serves as a recreational area with sports facilities, trails, playgrounds, and the Southeast Tennis and Learning Center.

Spatterdock, arrow arum and other wetland plants grow in a six-acre tidal wetlands restoration completed in 2006 in Kingman Lake on the Anacostia River near RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., on May 1, 2024. The restoration complements larger efforts in Kingman Lake, near Kingman and Heritage Islands, and was funded by the District Department of Energy and the Environment (DOEE) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Kingman and Heritage islands were created in 1903 using dredge spoils from the Anacostia River, which had filled in with eroded sediment from centuries of development beginning in the 1700s. After a seawall was constructed on both sides of the Anacostia in the early 1900s, the river had lost about 90% of its wetlands. But efforts in recent years have brought some wetlands back to the river, including at Kingman Lake. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

Tree leaf buds extend above Kishacoquillas Creek near its confluence with the Juniata River in Lewistown, Pa., on April 10, 2018. In 2010, Western Pennsylvania Conservancy received a Chesapeake Bay Small Watersheds Grant for $50,000 from the National Fish & Widlife Foundation to implement conservation practices on four farms in order to improve the health of Kishacoquillas Creek and downstream waterways. The project supported the installation of 7,080 feet of streambank fencing as well as other measures to reduce livestock impacts on streams, stabilize streambanks, and provide habitat for fish.

Green Chimneys really tired me out today! We volunteered for the mulch...little did we know that we had to separate the 25 bales, put them in about 3 piles, take it over to the garden, and spread it over the tomatoes! It was really hard work.....and, since it was purely organic, it was really NASTY to the touch!!! We're city girls -- what do we know??!! Anyway, it was a very rewarding experience !
Plastic bottles and other trash are sorted after being collected by volunteers and staff with the Living Classrooms Foundation during a kayak paddle as part of the Anacostia Green Boats program in Washington, D.C., on May 1, 2024. It was the first day of the season for the program, based on Kingman Island and funded by the District Department of Energy & Environment, which offers individuals and private groups free paddle rentals in exchange for picking up trash on the Anacostia River.

A groundsel tree grows at the Midfield Wetlands Walk in Norfolk, Va., on July 26, 2024. Since 2016, the Lafayette Wetlands Partnership has restored the area by first removing invasive species, including 12,000 square feet of invasive common reed, known as phragmites, and a number of invasive plants in Elwood Meadow. In their place, 14 volunteer events were held to plant native species, including 4,000 plugs of native grasses and other herbaceous plants, and additional larger plants, shrubs and trees.
