A facilitator skilled in interpretive planning works with park staff, partners, and outside consultants to prepare a plan that is consistent with other current planning documents. Part 1 of the LRIP establishes criteria against which existing and proposed personal services and media can be measured. It identifies themes, audiences, audience experiences, and issues. Part 2 describes the mix of services and facilities that are necessary to achieve management goals and interpretive mission. It includes implementation charts that plot a course of action, assign responsibilities, and offer a schedule of activity. When appropriate, Appendices provide more detailed discussions of specific topics. The completed LRIP forms a critical part of the more inclusive Comprehensive Interpretive Plan (CIP).

  • Best Parks and Places
    Best Parks and Places If you’ve read Northern VA – What and Why, you know this area is one of the best in the country for dragonfly watching. Reviewing Habitat Tips will give you an idea of what makes good dragonfly habitat and the secrets to finding them. Maybe you’ve already found a great dragonfly park or natural area in your neighborhood, or have a list of rivers, ponds and meadows you’re excited to visit and explore. Following is a list of parks and places in Northern VA I consider some of the best sites for watching dragonflies. I’m sure I’ve missed many excellent sites, and encourage you to add to my list with your own explorations and favorite places. I’ve also purposefully left off a few sites due to issues with public access, property ownership, and/or fragile ecosystems with especially vulnerable flora and fauna. Please remember, wherever you explore, tread with respect and long-term conservation in mind. Let’s be stewards first, and collectors, photographers and listers second. Get to Know Your Community I live in Reston and have been impressed and excited to find 40 species within its borders! I’m sure thorough searches by fellow dedicated dragonfly geeks in and around other Northern VA communities could find similar results. Leesburg, Vienna, McLean, Quantico, Dumfries – every town has its hidden watershed jewels and biodiversity reservoirs. Sometimes it’s a wooded hillside and tiny stream system behind the local soccer field, maybe a protected natural area on the edge of your HOA with a marshy seep, or perhaps an unexplored swampy corner of some park or military base – see what secrets you can uncover.

This Executive Summary lists the key findings of the 2018 Virginia State Parks economic impact analyses: ➢ In 2018, visitors to Virginia’s State Parks spent an estimated $249.1M in the Commonwealth. Approximately 46% [$113.7M] of this spending was by out-of-state visitors. ➢ The total economic activity stimulated by Virginia State Parks during 2018 was approximately $338.7M. ➢ The total economic impact of Virginia State Parks during 2018 was approximately $267.1M. Economic impact is a measure of “fresh money” infused into the state’s economy that likely would have not been generated in the absence of the park system. ➢ At the individual park level, economic impacts range from $961K to $31.3M (not including parks under development). ➢ In 2018, for every $1 of general tax revenue provided to state parks, $14.06, on average, was generated in fresh money that would not be there if not for the operation of Virginia State Parks.
