streamStream Restoration Work
Stream restoration work began earlier this week in the Hickory Cluster area of Reston. Approximately 500 feet of stream will be restored.

In October, crews will move to the stream near Forest Edge and Regency Square clusters, known as the Wiehle North stream reach. Residents will start seeing white flagging and orange fencing near Wiehle Avenue from the Hebrew Congregation down to the toe of Lake Anne Dam and then out towards Cedar Ridge Apartments.
