We're working on making meadows in roadside rights-of-way in the District. First step is to get DPW & DDOT to stop mowing. @doee_dc #DCnature #pollinators

To much #airsoft going on in sensitive habitat in one of DC's Fort Circle Parks. Broken saplings and trampled shrubs are everywhere. #nps #nationalparkservice #nationalpark #nationalcapitalparkseast #igdc #DCnature #thisisDC #exploredmv (at Fort Chaplin Park)

Flathead catfish, native to the Mississippi River, are now being found in the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers. These guys can get much larger than the native catfish species. They, along with invasive blue catfish and snakehead, represent a significant threat native fish, crayfish, and snails that love in DC's waters. These are on display at the Aquatic Resources Education Center in Anacostia Park. #DDOE #AREC #igdc #DCnature #thisisDC #flatheadcatfish #invasivespecies (at Aquatic Resources Education Center)
