Professor Barrows leads research into biodiversity, alien species and the ecology of arthropods in areas around the DMV that includes Dyke Marsh Preserve of the National Park George Washington Memorial Parkway.

The PART 1 Presentation was originally created for Kyrgyzstanis at the request of the U.S. Department of State and also used for classes at Georgetown University. Edd is interested in hearing your comments about the parks to help us all appreciate and understand them better. PART 2 is primarily about Glover Archbold Park, adjacent to Georgetown University. This is one of the finger parks of Rock Creek Park, and Foundry Branch intermittently flows through this narrow 2.6-mile-long park. The discussion will feature many local organisms.
