Celebrate Endangered Species Day by helping DOEE protect our District fish, wildlife, and plants and critical habitats. We just released a draft of our Wildlife Action Plan for public comment and want to hear from you. More information at https://doee.dc.gov/service/wildlifeactionplan

Happy Endangered Species Day! Did you know that DC an official amphipod? The tiny Hays Spring amphipod is only found in the District, where it lives in springs in the Rock Creek watershed.

Happy Endangered Species Day! Northern long-eared bats are found in DC in dense forests and use peeling bark and tree cavities for maternity roosts. These bats can be seen foraging for insects soon after dusk over streams and in forest clearings.

Learn more about bats in the District: https://doee.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/doee/service_content/attachments/DC%20Bat%20Species%20List%20web.pdf

Happy Endangered Species Day! Today @mayor_bowserissued a proclamation celebrating the day, highlighting endangered species found in the District: Atlantic sturgeon, shortnose sturgeon, northern long-eared bat, and DC's state amphipod, the Hay's Spring amphipod.

#DGSDelivers— We were excited to join the @mvtcid and community members for the Cobb Park Spring Fest to celebrate the reopening of the newly renovated Cobb Park! 🛝

This is about creating a space where families can gather, kids can play, neighbors can connect, and the community can truly enjoy being outside together.

We are grateful for @mayor_bowser & all partners, including, @mvtcid, @kr_mvtcid, @dcdpr, @cmcharlesallen, @doee_dc, @ddotdc, @dcdpw, @op_indc, as Bowser’s investment reflects her continued commitment to creating safe, modern, and welcoming public spaces for residents across all 8 wards.

This project would not be possible without the support of our design-build team, The Bennett Group, AMT, DGS Project Manager, Jeff Robinson, DPR Project Manager, Shayda Musavi, our client agency DPR, and all involved!
