The Rabbit Branch Tributary project restored over 1,500 linear feet of degraded stream channel using natural channel design techniques. The project established a stable channel geometry, reconnected the stream to its floodplain, installed in-stream structures to reduce erosion and improve habitat, and planted native vegetation. The restoration is expected to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment pollution entering Pohick Creek on an annual basis. The project involved teams from Fairfax County and private environmental firms.
