  • Maryland State Parks Plant 10,000 Trees for Earth Day 50Th Anniversary
    Maryland State Parks Plant 10,000 Trees for Earth Day 50th Anniversary Posted by TBN(Staff) On 04/23/2020 The Maryland Park Service is planting more than 10,000 trees in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, April 22, 2020. From the shores of Assateague Island to the mountains of Western Maryland, rangers will plant native trees on public lands to mark the occasion. A special Wye Oak seedling — a descendant of a white oak that lived for centuries in Talbot County — was planted at Sandy Point State Park near Annapolis by Maryland Park Service Superintendent Nita Settina. “Once this white oak tree matures, it will support more than 500 species of insects essential to feeding young birds every spring,” said Superintendent Settina. The white oak — Quercus alba — is Maryland’s state tree, and is found in every county and Baltimore City. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources stresses the importance of planting native trees and other plants, which support Maryland’s butterfly, moth, and bird populations. According to the Maryland Forest Service, trees also provide cost-effective stormwater management, reduce flooding by absorbing and slowing rainfall, limit stream bank erosion, filter pollutants, improve water quality in streams and rivers, improve air quality, reduce energy costs by shading and insulating buildings, and much more. Through various initiatives, the Maryland Forest Service plants millions of trees and seedlings each year. “Planting native trees on our public lands is a perfect way to mark this special Earth Day,” Maryland Secretary of Natural Resources Secretary Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio said. “The most important lesson of the past 50 years is that everyone can make a difference and every contribution, no matter how big or small, is vital to our overall success.

  • 2020 Weather in Review: Assateague Island National Seashore
    National Park Service Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network U.S. Department of the Interior Inventory & Monitoring Division 2020 Weather in Review: Assateague Island National Seashore Weather and climate play significant roles in driving both physical and ecological processes. For example, the active processes that shape the North Atlantic coastline are largely the result of meteorological events such as wind- driven waves. For research and long-term ecological monitoring, weather and climate data provide the potential for correlations to be made with observed physical and ecological pattern data. This resource brief provides a summary of both historic and current (2020) weather data for Assateague Island National Seashore (ASIS), Maryland (MD). Because tide levels and wind can be significant for coastal parks, the annual water level and wind data are included. Temperature Overall, 2020 was the 2nd warmest year on record with an average temperature of 59.4 °F — 3.1 degrees above average (Figure 1). Spring nearly reached “above normal” temperatures, while summer, autumn, and winter seasons fell within “much above normal” temperatures. 2020 had the 2nd warmest winter on record. The warmest month was July with an average of 81 degrees — 4.7 degrees over the monthly average. Every month had higher than average temperatures, except May at 1.4 degrees below average (Table 1). Table1. Worcester County, Maryland average monthly, average annual, and departures from long- term average temperatures. Departures from average are based on a comparison of 2020 average temperatures to relevant averages from 1895-2019. Data are available at NOAA NCEI: Climate at a Glance (https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/county/time-series/MD-047/tavg/all/12/2020-2020).

  • 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.

The seashore also provides high quality resource-compatible recreation experiences. To support these purposes, the National Park Service (NPS) has prepared a new general management plan (GMP) for the seashore, to replace the seashore’s existing GMP completed in 1982. The Draft General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (Draft GMP/EIS) was available for public and agency review from January 29, 2016 through May 1, 2016. The document presents and evaluates four alternatives for management of the seashore. Alternative 1. The NPS would continue to manage resources and visitor uses as it does today. The seashore enabling legislation and the existing General Management Plan (NPS 1982) would continue to guide seashore management. The NPS would manage seashore resources and visitor use as it does today, with no major change in direction. Alternative 2. Most visitors would enjoy traditional beach recreation concentrated within a high density developed area accessible by private vehicle. This alternative would likely require significant manipulation of the natural environment to protect facilities and infrastructure in the island developed area.
