The Old Farm Creek Stream Restoration project is part of Montgomery County's ongoing effort to restore degraded streams and enhance aquatic habitat and reduce pollution caused by stream erosion in our local streams and the Chesapeake Bay. The Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection in conjunction with Maryland-National Park and Planning Commission (MNCPPC) and local residents with the Luxmanor Citizens Association designed plans for a stream restoration project in a tributary to Old Farm Creek. The project is located south of Executive Boulevard, west of Old Georgetown Road, and north of Neilwood Drive in North Bethesda. The project was identified as a priority project in the Cabin John Watershed Study (2004).

Construction of the project began in August 2025 and was completed in April 2026. The project restored and stabilized 1,650 feet of the stream from its start at a storm drain pipe outfall, located west of Old Georgetown Road, to the Luxmanor Local Park.
