LDG April Tour Spring House Run
|
Saturday, April 13th 9:30 - 11:30 AM
National Arboretum 2400 R Street NE Washington DC |
|
Springhouse Run used to be a concrete conduit of stormwater runoff from New York Ave NE and the commercial areas to the north, running through the arboretum and emptying into the Anacostia River. After a major restoration, it is now a meandering stream, edged by thousands of native plants and populated by fish and frogs...
Join us as we observe breath-taking stream restoration and the lessons learned from Bill Matuszeski, chair of Environmental Committee of the Friends of the National Arboretum, member of the Mayor's Leadership Council for a cleaner Anacostia River, and former Director of the Chesapeake Bay Program.
The main gate by the visitor center is 2400 R Street NE, which will bring you to the R Street gate-use this address for GPS directions. There is a second gate at 3501 New York Avenue, NE Washington, DC 20002. There is free parking and a Capital Bikeshare station is located just outside the R Street gate.
9:30 AM- Assemble on the terrace behind Arbor House for refreshments and introductions. 'Arbor House' is the small building near the administration building and just to the south of the 'R' Street. NE entrance.
10:00 AM-Board several vans to visit the intake area, and several sites along the stream.
