Join a Washington Walks guide and a local naturalist for an exploration of the living memorial to America’s 26th president: Theodore Roosevelt Island, situated midstream in the Potomac River between the Georgetown waterfront and the skyline of Rosslyn, Virginia. The island’s 88 acres encompass numerous ecological zones and species of trees, from the varieties of oaks growing in upland forests to the lowland sycamores and silver maples found at the river’s edge. It’s a remarkable contrast to commercial office towers and concrete sidewalks by the Rosslyn Metro station, point of departure for the walk.
