  • Native Plants for Southeast Virginia, Including Hampton Roads Region
    Native Plants for Southeast Virginia including Hampton Roads Region Plant Southeast Virginia Natives! This guide showcases the attractive variety of plants native to Southeast Virginia, which includes the Hampton Roads region. Native plant species have evolved within specific areas and been dispersed throughout their range without known human involvement. These plants form the primary structure of the living landscape and provide food and shelter for native animal species. Although this guide is not comprehensive, the native plants featured here were selected because they are attractive, relatively easy for the home gardener to acquire, easy to maintain, and offer Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) and Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) various benefits to wildlife and the environment. This guide is being provided by the Hampton Roads organizations listed below to promote the use of these plants in the urban and suburban landscapes of Southeast Virginia for their many social, cultural, and economic benefits, and to increase the availability of these native plants in retail centers throughout the region.

  • A Clear Expression of Purpose
    The Park System of Norfolk, Virginia An Analysis of its Strengths and Weaknesses By The Trust for Public Land Center for City Park Excellence Washington, D.C. February 2005 Introduction and Executive Summary A venerable city with colonial-era roots, Norfolk, Virginia, has an increasingly bright future as the center of its large metropolitan area at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. In 2004, with their city in the midst of an impressive civic renaissance, a group of Norfolk citizen leaders became interested in knowing the state of Norfolk’s park and recreation system and how it compares with those of other similar cities. They turned to the Trust for Public Land’s Center for City Park Excellence, which is known for its studies of urban park systems, and contracted for an overview and analysis of Norfolk. With the assistance of the Bay Oaks Park Committee, and with cooperation from city officials, TPL undertook this study of Norfolk’s park system. Data on the system’s acreage, budget, manpower, and planning process was supplemented by interviews with city leaders, park and planning staff and Norfolk’s citizens. Utilizing an extensive database of city park information Norfolk was evaluated both on its own merits and against other American cities. By dint of time and budget, TPL’s analysis is not comprehensive; it only provides an initial set of snapshot views and comparisons. Nevertheless, the findings of this study are clear enough. By almost every measure, TPL finds that while the city of Norfolk has some wonderful parks, scenic riverfronts, tree-lined boulevards and sandy beaches, it simply doesn’t have enough of them.
