Wading in the water... again





Yesterday was coooold, but it was time for our quarterly stream monitoring!  This time, we had a great group of volunteers, led by Dan Schwartz of the Northern Virginia Water and Soil Conservation District.  The results were typical -- Difficult Run in this area isn't dead, but it's not totally healthy either.  We still need to pay attention to urban stormwater runoff, both quantity and quality.
