Preserving Fairfax County’s Natural Heritage

magine an area one and a half times the size of Manhattan. That’s how much land the Fairfax County Park Authority preserves and protects. Managing 23,000 acres of natural resources in more than 420 parks requires careful planning and collaboration. The Park Authority has a new plan to manage and preserve natural resources. The plan’s goals fall under four simple themes: to know what we have, to do no harm, to help our land heal and to spread the word about natural resource stewardship. You can read the plan online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/resource-management/nrmp.htm. Significant changes have occurred in Fairfax County over the past 50 years. Natural areas face many stresses that were simply not much of an issue before. These stresses include land development, tree canopy loss, increased stormwater runoff, an abundant white-tailed deer population and climate change to name a few. Parks conserve native populations of plants, wildlife and their habitats. Parks also help to clean our water and air, and they provide open spaces where we can enjoy the outdoors and appreciate nature. You can support the plan’s goals in a number of ways. Visit our five nature centers and learn from enlightening programs for children and adults. Visit your parks. Learn about them. Become a volunteer and be a good neighbor to the parks. By getting involved and helping to preserve Fairfax County’s natural resources, you will help ensure our rich natural heritage thrives well into the future.

QUICK TA K ES From the Trees to the Tees,

Autumn’s Wonders Abound

very autumn, nature’s brilliant palette of gold, orange and red leaves provides a glorious backdrop for hikers, bikers and nature lovers of all ages. Fairfax County parks offer extraordinary opportunities to see fall’s finest show, from Huntley Meadows Park in Alexandria to Riverbend Park in Great Falls and hundreds of other parks in between. Amid the fall foliage, you’ll spot magnificent birds as they migrate to their winter homes further south. Just as a male bird is usually spotted with his female mate nearby, you’ll usually see Lew and Claire Blakey together in their favorite neck of the woods - Laurel Hill Golf Club. “It has beautiful panoramas,” said Lew, an avid golfer, “and then when the leaves are gone from the trees, it has a completely difLew and Claire Blakey consider ferent view.” Laurel Hill Golf Club the “crown The retired couple, marjewel” of Fairfax County Parks for ried 25 years, ventures out different reasons. almost daily and usually arrives at the appointed time, “6:07 a.m.,” said Lew. It’s tee time for him. She is an amateur shutterbug who doesn’t play golf, but likes to walk the five-mile course with her husband. While he focuses on making birdie putts, she searches for wild birds and other animals to photograph along the way, in areas that usually mean trouble for a golfer’s game. “She’s off in the woods most of the time,” Lew said with a playful grin. “I just love being outside, and I enjoy walking,” Claire said enthusiastically. “The thing I love the most about walking at Laurel Hill is finding something that challenges me in getting the picture. It’s a real challenge to get a shot of an animal that doesn’t stand still for you.” Like a golfer who scopes out a shot with patience and an analytical eye, Claire carefully scans the Laurel Hill periphery for Fall 2014

Her favorite shot to date is “a Great Blue Heron against the sky with a fish from the lake in its beak.” While Lew also appreciates Laurel Hill’s majestic views and wildlife, he admits the shot he likes to see most is a hole in one at the golf course he calls “the crown jewel of Fairfax County parks.” The Blakeys appreciate the outdoors in their individual ways. “I always go out with him,” she said. “We do a lot of things together.” And in any season, wherever you spot one, you’ll usually find the other nearby, just like the birds that Claire loves to photograph, especially in the fall, against nature’s glorious backdrop of gold, orange and red leaves. Autumn is a great time to discover your parks, and naturalists offer lots of opportunities to learn about wildlife like bird walks and nature talks.

Healing Power of

Exercise

t 72, Al Lamb is the picture of health. He takes no medications, he exercises six days per week and he is training to compete in this year’s Northern Virginia Senior Olympics – something he’s done since 2012. “If I can improve my time by five minutes, I just might place third this year,” the Alexandria father of three adult children said. “That’s my goal.” Walking three miles in 49 minutes would be a challenge for many people half his age, and not long ago, Lamb would have told you it was an impossible goal for him. “I was so weak, I could barely lift a cup of coffee,” he recalled.

Park Authority gets National Award for Inclusion Practices

rom accessible playgrounds to aquatics programs to golf courses and equestrian facilities, the Fairfax County Park Authority prides itself on providing scores of recreational and leisure opportunities for people of all abilities. Soon, the agency will be recognized by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) for excellence in best inclusive practices. “This is tremendous honor,” said Park Authority Director Kirk Kincannon. “The Fairfax County Park Authority has an impressive record of doing the right thing when it comes to accessibility, and we see it at work every day in our programming, in our efforts to provide accommodations for people with disabilities and in our partnerships with groups such as our award-winning adapted aquatics volunteers, the business community and the Fairfax County Park Foundation.” The Park Authority will receive the 2014 Excellence in Inclusion Award this fall at the NRPA Congress and Exposition in Charlotte, N.C. At that time, the Park Authority will be one of only 11 park systems in the nation to attain the prestigious award from the NRPA, a national organization dedicated to advancing park, recreation and conservation efforts that enhance quality of life for all people.

2014 Virginia Indian Festival to Showcase Native Dance and Culture

ribal dancing, songs and drumming make history come alive each September at the Virginia Indian Festival at Riverbend Park. This year’s festival will offer greater opportunities to enlighten and delight the entire family. “We will have a small fishing and hunting village set up so visitors can experience what daily life was like for Virginia Indians who lived at Riverbend 600 years ago,” said park manager Marty Smith. Members of eight tribes native to the commonwealth will take to the banks of the Potomac River for the annual celebration of Indian culture featuring tribal dancing, rhythmic drumming, pottery, crafts, food and lots of hands-on, family-friendly activities. Visitors can try their hand at using chopping tools to help build a dug-out canoe from a massive log, or taking aim and hitting the mark with an arrow loosed from a bow on the archery range, or throwing spears using an atlatl. “There’s a lot for kids to do,” Smith said. “They get to try making stone tools, they get to brain-tan a deer hide and they get to talk to tribal members about Native American culture.”

The family event has grown each year since it was inspired nearly two decades ago by the misinformation about Indian culture and history that seemed prevalent among visitors. So the Riverbend Park staff decided to organize the Virginia Indian Festival to give visitors a first-hand opportunity to learn about the culture. “This is truly a family event and also a unique event,” Smith said. “There’s nothing else like it around here, and it has grown in popularity each year since it started.” So mark your calendar for September 6 to be a witness to history at Riverbend Park. The 2014 Virginia Indian Festival will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $5. For more family events schedule in the parks this fall, turn to the Events section of Parktakes.

Volunteer Profile

Jael Marecla Abdelwahed Stop into South Run RECenter on Saturday morning, and you’re bound to cross paths with Jael Marecla Abdelwahed, a selfless Adapted Aquatics program volunteer who finds purpose in helping students with disabilities learn to swim. “I worked 14 years with Fairfax County Public Schools as a bus driver for children with special needs,” Abdelwahed said. “Every child learns differently, and as a bus driver, I always tried to help them be happy and feel safe and loved.” Jael Abdelwahed says she has always found a joy in helping children as well as volunteering at South Run RECenter for more than a decade. After she retired from the school system, she continued her volunteer service at South Run, on Saturday mornings, helping students with disabilities learn to navigate the water in the RECenter’s Adapted Aquatics program. “I love to be with the kids and help them learn,” said Abdelwahed, who immigrated to the United States from Ecuador in 1973. “God enriched my life with three children of my own. We raised our children to be good and to try and help others, and now that they’re grown and out on their own, I feel richer being able to help other children who really need help. They want to learn, and they learn. I praise them, and they smile and sometimes give you a high five. For me, it’s a wonderful feeling and the best reward I can have.”

More classes online, www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/parktakes

Each student progresses at a different speed in learning aquatic skills, depending on a number of factors including class attendance, coordination, water familiarity and outside practice. Students often repeat a level several times before developing the endurance and skill proficiency necessary for advancement. Repeating a level does not constitute failure, it is to be expected. Mastering skills takes time, practice and patience.

Combining course levels When enrollment is low, course levels may be combined to avoid class cancelations.

Learn-to-Swim Classes for Babies and Preschoolers Baby & Me Swim (6-18 mos.) Register your baby for this parent-and-child class.

Practice Healthy Swimming Habits Accidents in the pool involving vomit or fecal matter require the pool being closed to clean and sanitize the water. Under Health Department standards recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), accidents involving fecal matter now require longer pool closure. Prevention is far better than clean up, so please follow the CDC guidelines: • Children (and adults) who have had diarrhea in the last two weeks should not go swimming. • Be sure to use the bathroom before getting into the pool, go on frequent bathroom breaks. For public health reasons, standard diapers cannot be worn in the pool. Children who are not yet toilet trained must wear snug fitting plastic pants and/or a swim diaper under their bathing suit. Waist and legs on plastic pants or swim diapers must be snug enough to contain matter that could contaminate the pool. Please check diapers often, and change them in the locker room not on the pool deck. • Adults who have continence issues should refrain from using the pool. • Shower before entering the pool and after using the toilet. • Avoid swallowing pool water or even getting it in your mouth.

PERFORM I NG ARTS • PET PLAC E

Off-Leash Dogs Welcome in Special Dog Parks Owners of well-mannered canines can take their pets to fenced, off-leash dog parks for free play, a good run or a friendly romp with other dogs. FCPA has seven established dog parks: Blake Lane, 10033 Blake Lane, Oakton Baron Cameron, 11300 Baron Cameron Ave., Reston South Run, 7550 Reservation Drive, Springfield Mason District, 6621 Columbia Pike, Annandale. Chandon, 900 Palmer Drive, Herndon Quinn Farm, 15150 Old Lee Rd., Centreville. Grist Mill, 4710 Mt. Vernon Memorial Hwy, Alexandria All Park Authority dog parks are public/private partnerships, developed in cooperation with sponsoring organizations of pet owners. The sponsors are the agency’s liaison between users and local residents, Animal Control and the Police Department. They monitor and clean up the facilities, publicize dog park rules and regulations, and report maintenance needs to the Park Authority. Dog parks are open year round from sunup to sundown. Off-leash dog park users do so at their own risk. Neither Fairfax County nor the Fairfax County Park Authority is liable for any injury or damage caused by any dog in the off-leash area. For off-leash dog park rules and regulations, visit http://1.usa. gov/Tqal8Q, or call 703-324-8594.

Pet Place Our dog obedience classes help build a strong relationship between pet and handler by developing understanding and communication. Flexible training methods are employed for home management, problem solving and correction. Please note: • Dogs that display fear or aggression are not permitted in Park Authority classes. • Bring a shot record with proof of DHLA rabies and parvovirus shots to the first class. • All dogs must be legally licensed, vaccinated, wearing a visible dog license and leashed when entering or leaving the class area. • Check with instructor at first class for proper leashes, collars and other equipment. • An adult must stay with child handler if student is younger than 16 or does not have own transportation. • Register the handler, not the dog; one handler/ one dog per registration.

Dog Training One-on-One Lake Accotink Park offers individualized dog training lessons taught by a longtime FCPA dog obedience instructor. Sessions are customized to your dog’s level of behavioral development and tailored to your schedule. Includes a pre-session phone consultation with the instructor to determine your goals and to set a date and time for your first session. An excellent option for busy people who need more flexibility than weekly lessons can provide.

Donor Profile . . . Mike McGurk, Transurban & Jamie Breme, Fluor-Lane

ike McGurk and Jamie Breme know first-hand how quickly Fairfax County has grown over the years. They both grew up here and are graduates of Fairfax County Public Schools. Now, as employees of two companies involved in the I-495 Express Lanes project, they get personal satisfaction in knowing their employers are giving back to their community through the I-495 Express Lanes Grant Program. “In our corporate culture, we like to look for ways we can be good neighbors,” said Breme, whose company, Fluor-Lane, designed and built the I-495 Express Lanes project. “Parks offer so many opportunities through nature, classes and other recreational activities for all ages, and it’s very exciting to be able to support those opportunities.” Since 2009, the grant program has provided generous contributions to nearly two dozen park programs and projects through the Fairfax County Park Foundation. They include the Summer Entertainment Series, trail and stream restoration initiatives, environmental education programs, family fitness events and recreational activities and camps. “Parks are so important to the quality of life we enjoy in Fairfax County,” said McGurk, whose company Transurban will operate the I-495 Express Lanes for the next 70 years. “Supporting parks through our grant program is one way we can show our long-term commitment to residents who live near the I-495 Express Lanes corridor.” To learn more about ongoing park projects through the Fairfax County Park Foundation, visit www.fairfaxparkfoundation.org or call 703-324-8581.
