Stormwater Partners Network

Everyone has seen it - the rivers of mud flowing from construction sites
after a storm. Now you can learn what you can do about it!

Join Little Falls Watershed Alliance and the Friends of Rock Creek’s Environment (FORCE) for a “Get the Dirt Out!” training with Potomac Riverkeeper.

November 2, 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church, 1 Chevy Chase Circle, Washington, DC 20015

FREE! Please register at the Potomac Riverkeeper website.

Dirt is one of the leading causes of pollution in area creeks, harming
fish and other aquatic life both in the creek and downstream. There is
something that you and your neighbors can do! In this training session
residents will learn how to identify and report violations of rules
designed to protect our streams from construction site pollution.

If you’re interested, please come to the training and find out more. If
you can’t come, please pass forward this email to someone who lives near you that might be interested.

Good news!  The website of the Little Falls Watershed Alliance is up and running at http://littlefallswatershed.blogspot.com/.    According to the website, “the LFWA logo is based on a leaf from a Tulip Tree. The veins in the leaf are a mirrored image of all the arms of Little Falls Branch, the particular stream whose watershed we aim to protect.” 

 Best wishes to the success of this group!

The newly formed Little Falls Watershed Alliance, which is dedicated to improving the Little Falls Watershed, will be holding invasive plant removals every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month for 2 hours.   They will be meeting on Saturday, June 14th at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Little Falls Parkway at 8 a.m.  If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Lynnwood Andrews, Invasive Plants Coordinator, at lynnwoodandrews@mac.com or 301-654-0571.
