Neighbors of the Northwest Branch

We are neighbors committed to protecting, promoting, and restoring the Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River.

We (1) take direct action such as removing litter along the Northwest Branch, planting trees, and removing invasive plants in the stream valley; (2) engage our neighbors in the effort to reduce pollution and rapid storm water runoff into the Northwest Branch through conservation landscaping; (3) assess the water’s health by regular monitoring of the bugs and larvae able to survive there; (4) advocate as appropriate for the Northwest Branch and water quality in general.
