NORTHERN VIRGINIA SALAMANDER RESORT & SPA Middleburg WHAT’S NEW American soldiers in the U.S. Army helped create our nation and maintain its freedom, so it’s only fitting that a museum near the U.S. capital should showcase their history. The National Museum of the United States Army, the only museum to cover the entire history of the Army, opened on Veterans Day 2020. Exhibits include hundreds of artifacts, life-sized scenes re- creating historic battles, stories of individual soldiers, a 300-degree theater with sensory elements, and an experiential learning center.

The Vascular Flora of Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and False Cape State Park, Virginia
Medical Research Archives The Vascular Flora of Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and False Cape State Park, Virginia The Vascular Flora of Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and False Cape State Park, Virginia Richard Stalter* and Eric E. Lamont ** Department of Biological Sciences, St. John's University, Jamaica, NY 11439 New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY 10458 *Corresponding Author Dr. Richard Stalter ( [email protected] ) Copyright 2015 KEI Journals. All rights reserved. Medical Research Archives The Vascular Flora of Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and False Cape State Park, Virginia ABSTRACT The vascular flora of Bay National Wildlife Refuge and False Cape State Park, Virginia consists of 602 species within 343 genera and 123 families. Of these 519 are native (86%) while 83 are not native to the region. Thirty two species are listed as rare or endangered in Virginia including two small populations of Bartonia verna at False Cape State Park found nowhere else in the state. Several species with southern affinities reach their northern range limit on the Back Bay region, whereas only two northern taxa, Hudsonia tomentosa and Myrica pensylvania are near their southern limit. Non-native varieties of Phragmites australis are a major component of the natural vegetation and pose a threat to native taxa. Each taxonomic entry in the checklist is accompanied by an annotation which includes the locality and habitat in which each taxon occurs, frequence of occurrence, range extensions, rarity status, and pertinent synonyms. Key words : flora, distribution, biodiversity, Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, False Cape State Park, Virginia. Copyright 2015 KEI Journals. -

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). -

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. -
REPORT, Balloon Litter in VA 1-4-21 FINAL Final
MARINE LITTER REPORT January 2021 Deadly Litter: Balloons & Plastic Ribbons on Virginia’s Coastal Beaches Deadliest Type of Trash Latex balloons, foil balloons, plastic ribbons and other attachments on helium-filled balloons are among the deadliest types of ocean trash. Found Everywhere, Especially on Beaches Littered balloons and ribbons can be found inland, but they mostly accumulate in Virginia’s remote coastal environments, between the high tide line and the dune vegetation, which is critical habitat for nesting birds, sea turtles, and diamondback terrapins. Most Common Debris Item on Remote Beaches Balloon debris was the number one or two type of debris found on Virginia’s remote beaches. • Up to 272 pieces of balloon-related litter per mile* • On one beach, 212 pieces of balloon-related litter in a half mile** Data on balloon debris supports the calls for laws, policies and behavior-change campaigns.

Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay
Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay Summary Report November 2018 Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay Summary Report Donna A. Milligan C. Scott Hardaway, Jr. Christine A. Wilcox Shoreline Studies Program Virginia Institute of Marine Science William & Mary This project was funded by the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program at the Department of Environmental Quality through Grant # NA17NOS4190152 Task 92.02 of the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended. The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, or any of its subagencies. November 2018 Page | 1 1 Introduction The Commonwealth of Virginia owns numerous tidal, waterfront properties along Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries including state parks, natural area preserves, and wildlife management areas. Many of these parks have eroding shorelines and are at risk from coastal hazards such as tidal flooding, waves, and sea level rise. These environmental threats impact the safety of park visitors and the mission of the parks. In an effort to address these issues for the parks as well as provide education to the public on living shoreline management strategies, eleven state parks with tidal shoreline along the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries were selected because of their suitablility for living shoreline demonstration projects (Figure 1). These parks: Belle Isle, Caledon, Chippokes, First Landing, Kiptopeke, Leesylvania, Mason Neck, Middle Peninsula, Westmoreland, Widewater, and York River, are spread throughout the Chesapeake Bay and have a variety of coastal conditions due to their locations and underlying geology.
