Today, we urged Congress to improve USDA's emergency watershed program & support robust funding for key river programs. Presence is power! Thank you to all our members, supporters, and leaders for meeting with legislators to protect rivers. #ForTheRivers

Yesterday, rangers encountered a floating colony of freshwater bryozoans in the Tidal Basin. The odd blob is made up of thousands of individual animals feeding on organic material & algae by filtering the water. It was a rare & exciting find for our nature-loving team. #nature

Today we released our 35,000th mussel into the #AnacostiaRiver with @DOEE_DC. These mussels will clean the equivalent of 200 Olympic-sized pools per year! #musselpower
