When the Fairfax County Park Foundation formed in 2000, its primary goal was to raise funds to create a large-scale accessible playground on donated land, which we enjoy today as the much-revered Clemyjontri Park. Since then, the Foundation has raised more than $10 million from individual and corporate donors to support Fairfax County parks and enrich the quality of life in multiple ways for all county residents. Some of our notable accomplishments include: • Chessie’s BIG Backyard - an outdoor recreation area at Lee District Park featuring an accessible sprayground, playground, tree house and trail. • Summer Entertainment Series - featuring nearly 200 free local movies and concerts in 14 Fairfax County parks each summer. • Camp Scholarships – summer camp opportunities for children who qualify for free and reduced-price lunch. • Environmental Education – Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE) programs to teach children the importance of natural resource stewardship. • Trail-building Fund – to support Park Authority trail and bridge maintenance and to provide informative trail signs about the county’s history and natural resources. • Discovery Trail Map – an annual summer activity that features interesting themes and prizes to encourage people to discover Fairfax County parks. In addition to our 20th anniversary, we will celebrate another major accomplishment later this year when two accessible picnic pavilions largely funded through the Foundation are constructed at Burke Lake Park. The reservable shelters will help accommodate the growing demand for family celebration venues near the park’s popular children’s area. The Foundation’s extraordinary accomplishments are a testament to our community’s commitment to park preservation and recreational opportunities. Through individual donations, corporate donations and legacy gifts through wills, as well as visionary leadership from the Park Foundation Board, the Park Authority Board and the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, we have reached incredible milestones that contributed to the Fairfax County Park Authority’s national Gold Medal recognition as one of the best park systems in the nation. You can learn more about our ongoing park projects on our website: www.FairfaxParkFoundation.org. On behalf of the Park Foundation, thank you for your support. We welcome your participation and look forward to serving Fairfax County for decades to come! Roberta Longworth, CFRE Executive Director Fairfax County Park Foundation

leb e C rate Spring From the first signs of spring to warmer weather days in May, you’ll find plenty of ways to celebrate the season in Fairfax County parks.
Behold the Bluebells
The Bluebells at the Bend Festival at Riverbend Park is a great way to celebrate spring’s arrival. These breathtaking beauties usher in springtime each April by carpeting the park’s floodplain with their magnificent blooms, and the bluebells are so abundant in some areas, you can’t see an end! This year’s event on April 11 features wildflower walks, musical entertainment and more! See for yourself the glorious display that draws generations of wildflower watchers to Riverbend Park every year. For festival details, see the Events section. Can’t make the festival?

Pollinator Gardens Help Put Food on the Table
Next time you bite into a juicy peach or a ripe tomato, consider this: according to U.S. Department of Agriculture research, one out of every three bites of food you eat exists because of the work of pollinators like bees, butterflies and birds. They carry pollen from the male to the female parts of flowers enabling plant reproduction. The trouble is the U.S. pollinator population is in decline and has been for decades, and that threatens our food supply. “Without pollinators, our food supply is drastically reduced,” said Green Spring Gardens naturalist Susan Eggerton. “Most fruit, vegetable and seed crops like apples, tomatoes and pumpkins depend on insects and animals for pollination.” Research shows that managed honeybee populations dropped from six million colonies in 1947 to 2.5 million today, and the monarch butterfly migration is at risk of failing. Contributing factors to the decline include inadequate diets, natural habitat loss due to urbanization, diseases and pesticide poisoning. Eggerton says you can boost the pollinator population and help support a healthy ecosystem by planting a pollinator garden this spring. “Pollinator gardens are primarily sun gardens because insects like to stay warm,” she said. “If you plant a wide variety of colorful plants, you’ll attract a diversity of pollinators, some of which are predatory insects and animals that eliminate the need for pesticides.” Eggerton says native plants are good choices because native species and pollinators evolve together. Zineas, marigolds and sunflowers are easy to grow from seed and planting them in a pollinator garden can be a fun project for children. If you choose plants that flower at different times of the year, you’ll provide nectar and pollen sources throughout the growing season. When the season is over, Eggerton says you can help pollinators weather the cold by leaving the garden alone. “Some pollinators take shelter from the cold under plant debris, and sometimes they’ll go into the stems of plants,” she said. “It’s best for their survival to leave the plant debris over the winter and clear it from the garden in late winter or early spring.” Green Spring Gardens offers a wide variety of plants at competitive prices that are perfect for pollinator gardens. You can also talk with naturalists and master gardeners for advice about what to plant in your pollinator garden. For hours and more information, turn to the Gardening section.

Kids Go Wild for Reptile Rangers Camp “There’s a skink,” declared Park Authority naturalist Tony Bulmer as he led a group of enthusiastic campers on a brisk, spring nature walk at Lake Fairfax Park. Their destination was Turtle Cove – the perfect setting for Reptile Rangers Camp. “Why are skinks helpful? They eat what,” Bulmer asked cheerfully. “Bugs,” the campers shouted in unison. Reptile Rangers Camp introduces children to cold-blooded creatures such as snakes, turtles and frogs. Daily adventures include hands-on activities, hikes, nature crafts, games and perhaps best of all, animal encounters. “It’s an amazing camp,” raved 7-year-old Gavin Schipani of Herndon during the session last spring. “I love reptiles because they have scales and they’re smooth when you touch them.” “My favorite animal is a snake,” declared 8-year-old Christopher Daniels of Reston. “I like how some are really big, and they slither because they don’t have legs or hands, so that’s how they move.” “I saw some turtles and thought they were really slimy, but Mr. Tony said they’re not slimy,” said 7-year-old Ellie Jung of McLean. “They curl up to protect themselves or to get warmer.” Reptile Rangers Camp helps children overcome fears and dispel common misconceptions about reptiles. Students learn the important role reptiles play in the ecosystem and how to properly interact with animals when they’re in the park. Campers also have fun capturing what they’ve learned in a daily journal of their outdoor adventures. “Journals are for remembering the words that we learned about snakes and turtles, and it’s fun,” said 5-year-old Ella Jung of McLean. At the end of each day, the journals also engage each camper’s parents and helps instill a love of nature in the whole family. This year’s Reptile Rangers Camp explores new territory at Lake Accotink Park. The Park Authority offers hundreds of nature camps and programs each spring and summer. To explore the options for children and adults, see the Camps and Nature sections.

Go the DistanceFitness with Running for
This time last year, Amy Nave stepped out of her comfort zone and embarked on a fitness journey that she wasn’t sure she could finish. The goal was inadvertently inspired by her physician. “I was at my doctor’s office for an appointment and saw a poster of her participating in a 5K, and I thought that if this was something she is doing, maybe it would be good for me, too,” she recalled. “Then I wondered, what do I do? Where do I begin? I had never run before in a race in my life.” Nave says she discovered the answers in the Running for Fitness class at South Run RECenter. The class is designed to get participants ready for a 5K race, and although the then 49-year-old Fairfax County public school teacher wasn’t sure she could go the distance, she decided to give the class a try. “When I first took the class, I could barely run at all, and the people who had been in the class for a long time encouraged me to stick with it saying, ‘I was once where you are,’” she said. “It kept me very much motivated, and I just love it!” ces

The Saturday morning class begins with the full group learning together. Students are first introduced to something new, such as a new running concept or different stretching exercises. Then the class breaks up into smaller groups based on experience level.”
Healthy Strides 2020 Mark your calendar for May 2 for this year’s Healthy Strides 5K/10K at Burke Lake Park! For details and to register, visit https://potomac.enmotive. com/events/register/2020healthy-strides-5k-10k.
“If you’re an experienced runner you do a certain workout, and if you’re a beginning runner you do a different workout,” Nave said. “Ellen, the instructor, is very knowledgeable about running and fitness, and the class runs a lot on the Burke Lake Park trails, which is a beautiful setting.” Less than four months after starting the class, Nave decided to test her running skills by participating in Park Authority’s Healthy Strides 5K Race at Burke Lake Park. Though she was still new to running, she finished well, in the middle of the women’s field of 194 runners. “That was a surprise,” she said with astonishment. “It was my very first 5K, and my goal was just to be able to finish the race.” Since then, Nave has made her health and fitness a priority by staying the course in Running for Fitness class and by participating in several other 5K community races. Now, at age 50, she’s looking forward to celebrating her one-year fitness anniversary by running in the Healthy Strides Race again this year, perhaps in the 10K. “I was an athlete as a young girl, and as we get older, life gets in the way with work and school and we put exercise or health on the back burner,” she said. “I’m glad I found it again because what really counts is your health. If you have your health, you have everything. It has to be a priority.” 8
The Park Authority offers a wide variety of fitness classes to accommodate all skill levels. To find one that suits you, turn to the Exercise and Fitness section.
Introducing RECenter Swim Teams! For decades, parents have turned to Park Authority RECenters to teach their children lifesaving swimming and water safety skills. Now, students age 6 to 14 who become proficient at swimming have a new way to test their skills and have fun at the same time – Fairfax County Park Authority Summer Swim Teams. “Swimming is a wonderful, lifelong leisure activity and our new summer swim teams are a great way for kids to reinforce what they’ve learned, get some exercise and have fun,” said team coordinator Betty Cook, a Park Authority swim and lifeguard instructor with more than 20 years of experience. “We want kids to experience friendly competition and have fun while trying out their new skills.” The summer swim team season runs from early June through July and teams are led by USA Swimming certified coaches. Cook says practices are held three times per week in the evenings while school is in session, and then move to the mornings once school closes for the summer. Swim team members get to test their skills in five Friday-evening swim meets throughout the summer, and each team will have its own social event. The entire league will be invited to a season-ending celebration at the Water Mine. Cook says there are a couple of other benefits to joining a Park Authority swim team. “Our practices and competitions take place at RECenter pools, so no sunscreen is needed,” she said. “Plus, swim team members who are enrolled in summer camps at their team RECenter will be personally escorted by staff members to camp after practices.” This is the first year Park Authority RECenters have offered swim teams, and each team will be limited to 20 participants, so swimmers are encouraged to register early. The only skill requirements are that participants must be able to swim the length of the pool on their front and back and be able to follow directions. For swim team registration information, see the listing in the Aquatics section or call the RECenter of your choice. Contact information is listed on page 11.

VOLUNTEER PROFILE
Deborah “Debo” Burk
For some people, there’s no higher calling than service to others. Debo Burk is among them. The retired Falls Church High School special education teacher now volunteers every Tuesday night to help with the Adapted Sports and Fitness class at Providence RECenter.
“There was a need, and I have worked with similar populations before,” she said modestly. “This class gives students with intellectual disabilities the self-confidence to socialize, move around, get some exercise and have fun. That’s what it’s really all about.”
The class is both inspiring and heartwarming as Burk and other volunteers and teachers help students take a shot at learning sports skills, fitness conditioning and teamwork through a variety of fun activities. Laughter often ensues from students as they flash an accomplished smile. “Sometimes you take their hand to help them, and they give it a squeeze to show their appreciation,” Burk said fondly. “It’s very sweet.”
Aside from her special education background, Burk is an accomplished master gardener who volunteers her time to help with landscaping projects in the Providence RECenter front circle. She has also helped with the Adapted Aquatics program and with administrative duties at the RECenter front desk. While she finds all of the work rewarding, she looks forward to sharing Tuesday evenings with students in Adapted Sports and Fitness class. “They’re always happy to see you, nearly always in a good mood and here to move around and have fun to the best of their abilities,” Burk said. “It’s a good feeling.”

ADA/Inclusion Support
In keeping with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Fairfax County is committed to giving all citizens equal access to recreation and leisure opportunities. Park Authority activities, programs, camps and classes are inclusive, and reasonable accommodations are available for people with disabilities. ADA accommodations include sign interpreters, assistive listening devices, program modifications and inclusion support. To request accommodations, or for more information about adapted program opportunities, call (703) 324-8563. The Park Authority makes every attempt to provide accommodations; however, fulfillment of requests received with less than 10 days’ notice cannot be guaranteed.
Facility Accessibility
The Fairfax County Park Authority offers parks and facilities that are accessible to all of Fairfax County residents. For information on accessible features or issues associated with usage, call (703) 324-8563 or visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks.
Follow guidelines when registering
If it has been a month or longer since the student has participated in a swimming lesson, we suggest repeating the previous course completed. If you have any questions about which class is right for you or your child, please contact the Adapted Aquatics Coordinator at (703) 324-8565. For safety reasons and to ensure customers get the maximum aquatic program benefits, the Park Authority reserves the right to remove students from an inappropriate class and either issue a refund or place them, when possible, in a class that better matches their ability. Practice and Repetition are keys to success Each student progresses at a different speed in learning aquatic skills. 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.

Aquatics Aquatics The Fairfax County Park Authority’s aquatic facilities offer something for everyone. From infants to senior citizens to people with special needs, we serve all levels of swimming ability and aquatic interests.
Monthly calendars listing pool hours are available at the Park Authority’s nine RECenters and online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks.
Follow guidelines when registering
If it has been a month or longer since the student has participated in a swimming lesson, we suggest repeating the previous course completed. If you have any questions about which class is right for you or your child, please contact the aquatic staff at your favorite RECenter. For safety reasons and to ensure customers get the maximum aquatic program benefits, the Park Authority reserves the right to remove students from an inappropriate class and either issue a refund or place them, when possible, in a class that better matches their ability level.
Practice and Repetition are keys to success
Each student progresses at a different speed in learning aquatic skills, depending on several 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.
U.S. Swimming, Synchronized Swimming or Dive Meets
Please see High School Swim & Dive Teams section for information regarding high school swim and dive schedules. For the most up-to-date pool closure information, please check the online aquatics calendar at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks, or contact your nearest RECenter.
Practice Healthy Swimming Habits
Accidents in the pool involving vomit or fecal matter require the pool to be 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 and take 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.

Small Group Lessons • RECenters now offer small-group lessons. This new lesson option complements the Park Authority’s other swim instruction offerings: • Private Lessons for students ages 3 to adult offer one-on-one instruction solely based on the student’s skill level. • Semi-private lessons for students ages 3 to adult offer instruction between two participants of similar ability and one instructor. • Small group lessons offer the same curriculum as the larger, traditional group lessons but to a smaller group of swimmers. Small group lessons offer lower student-to-teacher ratios, more personalized instruction and more practice time than large group lessons. • Traditional group lessons offer a comprehensive curriculum for participants ranging in age from 6 mos. to adult.

Camps Did You Know?
• Some camps are licensed by the Va. Dept. of Social Services. These camps require additional paperwork such as an immunization record and proof of child’s identity. Download the camp forms packet at https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ parks/camps to determine if your child’s camp is licensed. • Not a county resident? No worries, we welcome non-Fairfax County residents to join our camps. There is a $15 out-of-county fee. • Need a camp BEFORE FCPS students get out of school (private schools that end earlier in June)? Some weeks are designed for non-FCPS students who get out of school earlier than FCPS. • To provide several options for our customers, camp lengths and times vary. Be sure to check number of days and hours for each camp. • Worried about weather? On rainy days or when substantial rain is expected, some outdoor camps may be canceled for the day. On code red days, campers will engage in outdoor activities during the day while taking in plenty of water and several shaded breaks. Many of our camps are held outdoors. Please check with the site for more information. • What do you need for camp? Many of our camps will email participants the week prior to the start date. As a rule of thumb, most half-day camps will ask campers to bring a snack and drink. Full-day campers will need a snack, drink and lunch. If your child’s camp includes swim time, also bring a swimsuit and towel. ALL campers should wear weather-appropriate, comfortable play clothes and have sunscreen applied before leaving home. • To expedite the check-in process, make copies of your child’s forms for each camp/each week. Forms are not transferred from one camp to another and can be downloaded at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/camps • Does your child need medication during the camp day? Be sure to complete the Medication Authorization Form at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/camps • Is swimming part of your child’s camp? If so, there may be substitute activities when RECenter pools close in late August for maintenance and cleaning. Contact the RECenter directly for details. • Many RECenters and parks use premium classrooms and gyms in nearby schools during the summer as a respite from the heat. Campers may be bused (using FCPS buses) or walk to/ from our facilities to a nearby school during the camp day. • Several camps require signed waivers for participation. If you want to request review of the waivers prior to registering, email us at camps@fairfaxcounty.gov • Host-a-Coach Program: we are always looking for families who would like to host a British soccer coach for a week during the summer. In return for hosting, families earn a free week of British soccer camp. For application and details, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/camps • It is important to register early! Camps that do not meet minimum requirements for enrollment may be canceled. This decision is made two weeks in advance.
Once registered, download camp forms at: www.fairfaxcounty. gov/parks/campforms Spring 2020

DONOR PROFILE
Friends of Hidden Oaks Nature Center
Stop by Hidden Oaks Nature Center, and you quickly identify the triumph that came from tragedy. It’s an inspiring, 10-foot-tall animal sculpture carved from the remains of a mighty, 100-foot tulip poplar tree that was once the focal point of the center’s woodland view and served as a feeding station for flying squirrels and many bird species. The 125-year-old tree had been twice struck by lightning and became an imminent danger to the building. “It leaned toward the nature center, and the county arborist said it needed to come down because it was dead,” said Friends of Hidden Oaks President Kevin Holland. “We asked if we could save the bottom 10foot snag for a sculpture because it was still in good shape, and the arborist said it was okay.”

Hidden Oaks Nature Center 7701 Royce St., Annandale, VA 22003 (703) 941-1065 www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/hiddenoaks Hidden Oaks Nature Center features a pond and an interactive exhibit ideal for children 2 yrs. and older. Located in the 52-acre Annandale District Park, the center is nestled among woodland trails and creeks with gardens and a nearby playground. Inside the nature center, facilities include live animal displays, a climbing “tree” loft/puppet stage, a resource library and the Urban Woodlands interactive exhibit. View the rain garden at the nature center entrance. Young children accompanied by adults are invited to investigate Nature Playce, an outdoor exploration area, for unstructured play opportunities in the woods. Programs for groups by reservation. Ideal location for children’s birthday parties, classroom rentals. Personalized programming available for families, organizations, scouts and homeschool groups. Visit the website for nature center hours. Grounds open dawn to dusk.
The Friends group immediately started fundraising, and the idea for the woodland animal tree sculpture quickly took root throughout the community. Even the chainsaw artist, Andrew Mallon, was inspired by the community’s enthusiasm and suggested creating an accompanying bench from another section of the tree to complement the sculpture, which was completed in time for the center’s 50th anniversary celebration in October 2019.
“His artwork came from the heart, and it is so cool,” Holland said enthusiastically. “One of the kids who was watching him carve the sculpture asked, ‘Can you put butterflies on it?’ He added four or five butterflies, and he carved the bench with a racoon at the end of the log, and a foxhole with foxes looking out at you.”
It took the Friends group just five months to raise $11,000 from private donations, the Bailey’s Crossroads Rotary Club and a $2,500 matching Mastenbrook grant. It was more than enough to pay for both the tree sculpture and the bench through the Fairfax County Park Foundation, and the balance will be used to maintain the sculpture for the next 20 years. “When you see it, it’s a wild moment,” Holland said. “It’s a destination tree – a fabulous experience.

Most Park Authority dog parks are public/private partnerships, developed in cooperation with sponsoring organizations of pet owners. Volunteers assist with monitoring and cleaning up the facilities, making users aware of dog park rules and regulations and reporting maintenance needs to the Park Authority. Dog parks are open year round from 7 a.m. to 30 minutes after sunset on weekdays and from 8 a.m. to 30 minutes after sunset on weekends and federal holidays. 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 www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/parkrules/dogpark. htm, or call (703) 324-8594.
