SAVE ROCK CREEK TREES!

On May 2, the National Capital Planning Commission could approve the Rock Creek Park Golf Course rehabilitation project, which includes removing over a thousand trees and replacing them with golf turf. Learn more about objections to the project here.

These trees, some of which are over a hundred feet tall and over 80 years old, are home to American Kestrels, Carolina Wrens, Tree Swallows, Red-shouldered Hawks, American Goldfinches, Downy Woodpeckers, Owls, and many, many more birds and other animals. On April 28, a rare-to-DC Eastern Whip-poor-will was even spotted in the park!

Thank you SO MUCH for your help! We can't save this special D.C. habitat without you!
