On Saturday, August 7, at noon, join WSSI at the Reston Museum (1639 Washington Plaza, in the Lake Anne Village Historic District) to learn more about the Northern Virginia Stream Restoration Project. View an exhibit that describes why streams in Reston need restoration, how the streams are being restored, benefits of stream restoration, and project progress. The exhibit also features scale models representing an impaired urban stream and a restored urban stream. WSSI staff will be present to answer your questions. After viewing the exhibit, also join us at 1 pm for a stream walk.

The Northern Virginia Stream Restoration Bank (NVSRB) is a partnership between Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc. (WSSI) and The Peterson Companies (TPC), working in concert with the Reston Association (RA). The goal of NVSRB is to restore approximately 29 miles of degraded streams (14 miles in Phase I) in Reston, Virginia, to the benefit of all involved. Please view our April 2010 informational brochure for a project overview.
We invite you to keep apprised of the project and the current work going on in your neighborhood throughout the process. Feel free to browse this site for more information: take a look at our timeline, see the project in pictures, or read articles and letters about the project. Peruse the frequently asked questions, or ask a question that we haven't yet answered. Learn what's involved with archeology, survey, GIS, ecology, or engineering design. E-mail us to send us a construction-related concern or question or to receive e-mail updates about this project.
