  • Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 a Publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs
    Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 A publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs Copyright 2008. All rights reserved. May not be reproduced or copied in any manner whatsoever. 1 Preface This field trips guide book has been written by Dave Carter and Ed Funk of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, NVPS. Both are experienced and successful field trip organizers. Joseph Miller, NVPS, coordinated the printing and production of this guide book. In our view, field trips can provide an excellent opportunity for camera club members to find new subject matter to photograph, and perhaps even more important, to share with others the love of making pictures. Photography, after all, should be enjoyable. The pleasant experience of an outing together with other photographers in a picturesque setting can be stimulating as well as educational. It is difficullt to consistently arrange successful field trips, particularly if the club's membership is small. We hope this guide book will allow camera club members to become more active and involved in field trip activities. There are four camera clubs that make up the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs McLean, Manassas-Warrenton, Northern Virginia and Vienna. All of these clubs are located within 45 minutes or less from each other. It is hoped that each club will be receptive to working together to plan and conduct field trip activities. There is an enormous amount of work to properly arrange and organize many field trips, and we encourage the field trips coordinator at each club to maintain close contact with the coordinators at the other clubs in the Alliance and to invite members of other clubs to join in the field trip.

  • Deer Plan Cover 09-18.Cdr
    Maryland White-tailed Deer Plan 2009-2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) currently garner more attention than any other wildlife species in Maryland. Wildlife-watchers, photographers and hunters contribute millions of dollars each year to the state’s economy while pursuing deer. At the same time, deer are responsible for Maryland’s farmers and other citizens sustaining millions of dollars worth of damage to crops, landscaping and vehicles. Managing the deer population to satisfy recreational interests, while at the same time reducing damage concerns, is a challenging and controversial process. White-tailed deer were plentiful in Maryland at the time of settlement in the 1600s. However, market- hunting and habitat destruction nearly extirpated deer from the state by 1900. The early 1900s through the 1960s was a period of population restoration and deer proliferated due to ideal habitat conditions and the protection of female deer from harvest. By the 1980s, management philosophies across much of the state changed from restoring deer to stabilizing and reducing deer numbers. Active management of deer is a necessity in Maryland today if we are to maintain population levels compatible with the varied interests of the citizens of the state. As an evolutionary prey species, deer exhibit a high fecundity rate, enabling them to rapidly increase in number. Presently, non-lethal management techniques (such as contraceptives) and non-hunting mortality (disease, injuries and predators) are not sufficient to maintain deer populations at satisfactory levels. The lethal control of deer via regulated hunting remains the most effective way to balance the deer population with environmental and cultural concerns on a landscape scale.

  • Open Space and Recreation Design and Development
    middle branch Baltimore City Department of Planning The Rowing Club was constructed in the 1980’s and is still operating Open Space and successfully today. Recreation “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” - William Shakespeare Sustainable open space and recreation systems protect and enhance the social, ecological and economic viability of community open spaces. These spaces are not treated as ‘isolated’ or ‘empty’ areas between properties, but rather inter-connected elements, with each serving as integral pieces of a larger system. In the Middle Branch Plan, the water and ecological systems provide the foundation of the waterfront community. The overall goals of the Middle Branch Open Space and Recreation program are to maintain a sufficient amount and distribution of open space such that diverse uses and opportunities can be created, including natural habitat areas, passive recreation areas and active recreation areas. PB Middle Branch Master Plan Open Space and Recreation 19 • Natural habitat areas will be set aside for visual enjoyment and guided education only. These areas will ‘belong’ to the birds and animals for their use. • Passive recreation areas will include spaces for sitting, picnicking and quiet contemplation. • Active recreation areas include spaces for ball playing, scull racing, fishing or other water-based recreation. All of these spaces will highlight the intrinsic attributes of the Middle Branch’s environment, minimize ecological impacts and provide economic and social benefits on a long term, sustainable basis. In the Middle Branch, open space and recreation will contribute to the quality of life, accessible to everyone. Our open space and recreation system will bring communities together through accessibility, People escaped the city and came to the quiet Middle Branch to programming and education.

  • STAFF DRAFT RACHEL CARSON GREENWAY TRAIL CORRIDOR PLAN – APPROVAL to PRINT for PUBLIC HEARING (No Public Testimony Will Be Taken) ______
    MONTGOMERY COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PARK & PLANNING THE MARYLAND-NATIONAL CAPITAL PARK AND PLANNING COMMISSION 8787 Georgia Avenue Silver Spring, Maryland 20910-3760 3/31/05 MCPB Item No: ____ March 23, 2005 MEMORANDUM TO: Montgomery County Planning Board VIA: Jeff Zyontz, Chief, Countywide Planning Division John E. Hench, Ph.D., PPRA Unit Supervisor, CWP Division FROM: Lyn Coleman, Trail Planning Supervisor (301-650-4391) SUBJECT: STAFF DRAFT RACHEL CARSON GREENWAY TRAIL CORRIDOR PLAN – APPROVAL TO PRINT FOR PUBLIC HEARING (No Public Testimony Will Be Taken) _______________________________________________________________________ STAFF RECOMMENDATION APPROVAL to publish for purposes of Public Hearing, tentatively scheduled in May. BACKGROUND The Rachel Carson Greenway, shown in FIGURE 1, stretches for 25 miles from the southern boundary of Montgomery County northward to the Patuxent River State Park. The Countywide Park Trails Plan (1998) identified the need to study this corridor in more detail. In 2003, the Planning Board included the Rachel Carson Greenway Trail Corridor Plan in the 2004-2006 Trails Work Program. In July 2004, the Planning Board approved the plan objectives, plan schedule and the public participation element of the Rachel Carson Greenway Trail Corridor Plan. In accord with the plan schedule approved by the Planning Board, staff has since sponsored two community meetings on plan issues and opportunities (one in the southern part of the corridor, the other in the northern part). Staff has also met with the Sandy Spring Civic Association, the Board of the Sandy Spring Museum, the Neighbors of Northwest Branch and Sandy Spring Green Space. Those attending the above meetings generally expressed support for the concept of an interpretive- based 25-mile greenway.
