Education and Outreach
An important step in protecting the creek is making people aware of what it adds to our community. Through social media, public events and educational activities we tell the story of Little Falls Creek. Our popular “creek critter” events teach kids about the natural world.
Creek Critters
One of our most popular activities – twice a year in the spring and fall, our volunteers go into the creek to hunt for bugs and other macroinvertebrates. Children and adults alike learn about what’s living in the creek and why clean water is so important.

Part of bringing Willett Branch back to life has been digging into the rich history of this neighborhood, going back to a time when it was home to a vibrant African-American community. Our research was published in Washington History magazine.
