The National Park Service is currently accepting public comments on revised plans to update and renovate the Rock Creek Nature Center, Horse Center and maintenance yard.
NPS introduced the renovation options late last year, after which some community members raised concerns about lost wildlife habitat.
The new plans drop the fourth option, a “Green Campus” that would have had the greatest impact on the green spaces near each complex.
The “Green Campus,” is no longer one of the concepts under consideration. (Click to view a larger image.
