While some tents remained, much of the square’s grass was littered with Occupy D.C. detritus.

A day after a U.S. Park Police raid on the Occupy D.C. encampment in McPherson Square, inspections and clean-up continued into Sunday morning.

While some 25 tents remained, many had been removed for apparent violations of no-camping rules. After four months of being hidden from view by the community that developed in the park, what were once grassy areas were exposed as mud pits covered with little more than straw. The extent of the encampment’s permanence at McPherson Square was evident — bags of belongings, two mattresses, multiple lawn chairs and even a futon were left behind.

And though the National Park Service has said that protesters will eventually be able to return and use the park for a 24-hour vigil, it seems that much of the life that drove the encampment and the movement that lived in it is gone. Protesters have said that they will gather in the park today at 4 p.m. to decide what to do next.
