As DC Chief of Police and throughout his life, Isaac Fulwood, Jr. was guided by three things: family, faith and friends. A Capitol Hill native, he was a member of the Police Boys and Girls Club—an important influence on the youngster who would join the DC police force in 1964 and become its chief in 1989.

Across the River from the National Arboretum is another spectacular place to spend time with nature – the National Park Service’s Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. This is the best time of year to see it in its glory – with the acres of lotus in bloom and many other flowers and plants providing contrast with their colors and shapes. There are so many places to wander among the flowers, and then the wooden walkways out
over the marshes and all the wildlife that resides there. Not to be missed! And accessible either by car or by taking the hiker/biker trail along the River to the entry path just south of the New York Avenue bridge.
Pope Branch Park Continuing down-river, Pope Branch Park is a very special place hidden away so well in the residential neighborhoods above Pennsylvania Avenue that it is unusual to run into a single other human, and quite normal to be greeted by deer, owls and all their friends. Pope Branch is a partly restored stream that crosses under Minnesota Avenue and the Freeway and enters the Anacostia. Upstream is a deep woods with a wandering trail that begins off of M Place, SE, right above Minnesota Avenue. The trail rises up to street level in a few places, but then draws you on to take another dip down into paradise. It must be seen and experienced. And it is best to get lost. Bill Matuszeski is a member of the Mayor’s Leadership Council for a Cleaner Anacostia River, and the retired Director of the Chesapeake Bay Program. He also serves on the board of Friends of the National Arboretum and on Citizen Advisory Committees for the Chesapeake and the Anacostia. u
