Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy released the 2025 Loudoun Streams Report Card on November 17, 2025. Alexandra Fries was able to attend a celebratory event they held at their office in Leesburg, VA on December 13, 2025. This is their first report card and was created in conjunction with the Chesapeake Monitoring Cooperative and UMCES. Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy (LWC) has over 150 volunteers who conduct chemical, biological, SaltWatch, and NitrateWatch data. The report card includes scores for biological monitoring, conductivity, nitrate, phosphate, chloride, and water clarity. Amy Ulland, the President and Stream Monitoring Coordinator for LWC, presented on the report card and results at the event. The overall grade was C+ (58%), showing a mix of strengths and concerns.
