Heritage Tree Relocations in Washington D.C.

<p>Trees in the city are critical to our well-being. Among many other benefits, trees improve our air and water quality, cool our neighborhoods, and provide nurturing habitats for birds, bees, and numerous other wildlife. Large trees provide greater environmental benefits than smaller trees and are protected from unnecessary damage or removal by the Urban Forest Preservation Act and the <a href='https://code.dccouncil.us/dc/council/code/sections/8-651.04a.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Tree Canopy Protection Act</a> in the District of Columbia. Any tree with a trunk greater than 100” in circumference is called a heritage tree. Heritage trees may only be removed if considered hazardous by a city arborist, otherwise, heritage trees cannot be removed, topped, girdled, or destroyed.</p><p>If a heritage tree is within the limits of disturbance of a construction project, then they need to be properly protected throughout construction. However, there are times when the site plans cannot provide adequate protection, and so the only remaining legal option is to move the tree to a safer place on the property. This is a laborious, careful process, but ultimately preserves the environmental benefits and the cultural significance of the heritage tree.</p>

Public Life in DC

<p>Washington, DC is fortunate to have a wealth of park spaces, squares, and pedestrian-friendly streets that provide opportunities for a vibrant and rich public life. As DC grows, existing and new public spaces are used by an increasing diversity of groups. Ensuring that our shared public spaces are designed to be inclusive, inviting, and delightful is a key component to maintaining a high quality of life for current and future DC residents of all ages and abilities. Through the use of policies and regulations, tools, and public space activation, the DC Office of Planning (OP) is working to provide a more accessible, convivial, and vibrant public realm.</p><p>From the overlapping themes of culture and the creative economy, OP's work in public space design and activation has expanded beyond traditional plans and streetscape guidelines with a focus on people and human experience. In tandem with DC's growth, OP's approach to the public realm has accelerated and expanded in scope, with a more intentional focus on fostering a robust and vibrant public life in the city.&nbsp;</p><p>Learn more within this story map.</p>

Kingman Park

<p>Kingman Park is a neighborhood in northeast Washington developed in the years between World Wars I &amp; II, during the height of segregation when black Washingtonians struggled to find decent housing. African Americans were largely shut out of new housing developments in and around the city by racially restrictive covenants.</p><p>With no such restrictions imposed on the new housing in Kingman Park, house sales took off, attracting an exclusively African American population. The residential development engendered the building of a new neighborhood, including churches, businesses, and other institutions, all of which were segregated. Kingman Park residents enjoyed a vibrant and tight-knit community, but they were also removed from white Washington and were continuously denied equality in public education and recreation by government policies.</p><p>To fight racial injustices, residents banded together. Several sites in Kingman Park became important scenes of civil rights demonstrations and activities contributing to the end of legally sanctioned segregation practices in the city and nationwide.</p><p>In 2018, in recognition of its cultural history, the Kingman Park Historic District was created and listed in the DC Inventory of Historic Sites and the National Register of Historic Places. The Kingman Park Historic District is in Northeast Washington DC, on the banks of the Anacostia River.</p><p>Learn more within this story map.</p>

Feeding the City - DC Urban Farms

<p>Washington, DC has a vibrant and collaborative farming community. Now more than ever, when global supply chains are struggling, having a strong local food system is critical for the success and health of our communities. Recognizing the importance of urban farms during the public health crisis in 2020, Mayor Bowser deemed them essential businesses.&nbsp;</p><p>Urban farms are production farms run by businesses or non-profit organizations that sell or donate the food they produce. These are distinct from community gardens, where residents grow food for personal use.</p><p>When touring DC farms, you’ll see excellent examples of all types of practice – from high-tech controlled environment growing to low-tech regenerative techniques, from art and pollinator habitats to storm-water mitigation landscaping -- plus, you may be 9 floors above the ground. DC hosts two garden and agriculture festivals each year, Rooting DC and the DC State Fair, and is also home to the most urban Land Grant University in the nation. DC government recently created the Office of Urban Agriculture within the Department of Energy and the Environment, demonstrating a strong and long-term commitment to advancing agriculture in our nation’s capital. There are currently 17 urban farms operating in the District.</p><p>Read this story map to learn about a few featured farms.</p>

Barry Farm Dwellings

<p>Construction of Barry Farm Dwellings began with America’s entry into World War II. As tens of thousands of people moved to Washington for federal government jobs to aid in the war effort, the city experienced a serious housing shortage that was particularly severe for African Americans. To help alleviate the problem, the &nbsp;Alley Dwelling Authority &nbsp;built Barry Farm Dwellings, a public housing complex for African Americans, in 1942.</p><p>The site of Barry Farm Dwellings, from its establishment as a freedmen’s village in 1867, through its development as public housing, tells a story of housing struggles for African Americans for over 150 years. It is a story of the resilience of the residents who, in spite of the effects of racial segregation, municipal neglect, and invasive welfare policies, built a rich and close-knit community.</p><p>In recent years the Barry Farm Tenants and Allies Association (BFTAA) fought against the proposed elimination of Barry Farm Dwellings and the displacement of its residents. In 2019, as the DC Housing Authority began the demolition of Barry Farm Dwellings to make way for &nbsp;new development , BFTAA succeeded in having a section designated as a historic district. Although most of Barry Farm Dwellings has been demolished, the surviving buildings provide a physical reminder of the importance of the site, its people and events.</p><p>Read this story map to learn more about Barry Farm Dwellings' history.</p>

A Path to Ending Chronic Homelessness in DC

<p></p><p></p><p>The District of Columbia is committed to making homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring through innovative, person-centered and research-based practices. Aligned with research-based strategies, the District expanded its housing voucher program for people experiencing chronic homelessness by more than 100% in Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023.  Additionally, new investments in housing vouchers for individuals and families have been made in each subsequent year. For the first time, ending chronic homelessness is in sight. Still though, helping individuals and families access housing through the voucher program is complicated and time-consuming. This page provides an overview of our system and processes, tracks progress and articulates the challenges we face and opportunities for growth. </p>
