Fifty Ways to Restoration By Susan Sims

Birds chirp and sing. Flowers share their sweet scent, and the fields pop with color and texture as the summer sun warms the meadows of Reston. Summer signals the height of growth and rich diversity in the 50 meadows spread throughout the natural areas managed by Reston Association. Meadows are open field areas defined by a predominance of grasses and wildflowers. They provide many restorative benefits for wildlife and people. Reston’s meadows are found along trails or roadways. Often, they have a mowed edge to delineate their boundaries from a turf area. Without resource management, meadows would eventually be overtaken by trees, shrubs and shade-loving species due to natural succession.

However, two exceptions are the one-acre meadows at Purple Beech and Stones Throw Drives. A great place to explore this type of habitat is at the much larger meadow that grows along the transcontinental pipeline off Fox Mill Rd, near the soccer field. It is a designated Monarch Waystation that provides milkweed host plants for caterpillars and other nectar rich wildflowers to sustain adult butterflies during their migration.

Active meadow management promotes biodiversity and provides important habitat for pollinators. Most of Reston’s meadows are small “pocket” meadows that measure under one acre in size.

Much of the eastern United States meadowlands have been absorbed by woodlands through a process called successional growth as birds spread seeds, shrubs grow, and trees enter the meadow area.

Habitat Revival

Meadows can naturally occur where land meets water, along forest edges or where it is challenging for large trees to grow such as on land that is susceptible to wildfires.

Many meadows have also been eradicated by development because of the relative ease of access for equipment and construction. This type of habitat is in need of conservation.

Dawn to dusk, enjoy year-round access to trails, restrooms and free parking.

Reston’s meadows are managed to promote habitat stability and encourage plant diversity. This approach revives the habitat for insects that help pollinate plants and food crops, including bumblebees, syrphid flies and ladybugs. Meadows attract multiple bird species and provide high-quality shelter for reptiles and small mammals. The Reston Association State of the Environment Report (RASER) notes that the inclusion of species such as Common Milkweed, Black-eyed Susan, goldenrods and Joe-pye Weed support all stages of invertebrate growth from larvae to adult. According to the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, a variety of native plant species protects the land and contributes to healthy environmental cycles.

Environmental Rehabilitation

Because native meadow plants are predisposed to the environmental conditions of the region, they do not require watering, fertilizing or pesticide applications. Meadows are a cost savings alternative to turf grass. In its comparative study, the Xerces Society found that over a 20-year period, a traditional lawn costs 500% more than a maintained meadow. Reston’s meadows are mowed once a year to prevent woody growth and control invasive plants. Mowing occurs in the late winter or early spring so that Monarch migration season is over, seed heads have been left for winter birds, plant stems have been left for overwintering insects, and bird nesting season has not yet begun. Meadows also play a role in curbing climate change. They can contribute significantly to carbon sequestration unlike traditional lawns or field turf. Meadow plants have deeper roots and can capture more carbon, storing it underground. This underground carbon is less vulnerable to carbon release. A one-acre meadow with dense roots can capture carbon at similar rates as a tropical rainforest and could be one part of an integrated approach to addressing climate disruptions.

Additionally, meadows support good water quality. They filter sediment and pollutants from the runoff that flows from impervious surfaces. When pollutants are trapped in soils, they are prevented from entering groundwater as well as streams and rivers, including our source of water, the Potomac River.

Human Renewal Groups: Please call ahead to arrange your visit. Branching Out is a quarterly publication of the Walker Nature Center (WNC), owned and operated by Reston Association. The mission of the WNC is to foster an environmental stewardship ethic in the community. It is named after Reston’s first Open Space and Nature Center Director, Vernon J. Walker.

Meadows provide a wide range of color and texture throughout the seasons. From the delicate white flowers of White Foxglove to the vibrant purple and red hues of Big Bluestem grass rising to seven feet in the summer, there is always something interesting and fascinating to experience on a walk around a meadow. Studies show that access to quality outdoor areas reduces stress, restores the senses and improves overall mental health and wellness. Time in nature allows us to break free from the stressors of urbanity, disconnect from our devices and renew a connection with the natural world. While a meadow’s lack of a traditional manicured look may not appeal to all homeowners, we encourage you to try a pocket meadow in part of your yard or spend time admiring the ones on our open space. Through informed management practices and a drive for greater environmental health, Reston’s meadows are connecting humans to nature and building multiple points of collective restoration.

What a terrific spring! Not only did bird song, tadpoles and wildflowers delight us, but so did the return of Spring Festival and smiling field trip students. For the first time in two years, we are back to full capacity and have welcomed the return of all of our seasonal Teacher/Naturalists-Emily Cassee, Melissa Reisland, and Susan Sims, plus our newest member of the team Kim Lowther. We are most grateful for the volunteers who dug in to help at Reston’s Arbor Day and at our Earth Day Project. 100 trees and shrubs were planted as well as 134 wildflowers, ferns and grasses. Volunteers also made our Eggstravaganza a big hit during spring break. If you’re looking for ways to get involved, we’ve got lots of summer activities to participate in or volunteer at, including the Fairy Festival and a season of wildlife counts. We are also excited to welcome a full number of counselors and campers (ages 3-12) to our nature camps. If you’d like to volunteer at camp, we have some new opportunities.

Summer Splash By Earl the Squirrel (with help from Kelly Michienzi)

Is there anything better than dipping your feet into a cool stream on a hot summer’s day? You might not know that beneath your feet live many tiny little critters. Lift a rock and you just might spot a crayfish. Stand still and fish may swim by. Dip a net along the bottom of the stream and you could catch a worm or insect. There is so much to explore in your local stream. Streams provide habitat for numerous animals and insects. Many insect species begin their lives in aquatic habitats like streams and lakes. Did you know the dragonflies zooming around the summer skies begin their lives in the water? Young dragonflies are called nymphs. They hatch from eggs that are laid in the water and then spend time eating other insects and worms in their watery habitat. Dragonfly nymphs experience dramatic changes during their life cycles. When they are ready to spread their wings, they crawl up onto a tall piece of a plant and slowly crack out of their clear shells called exuviae. Isn’t nature amazing? Streams also provide drinking water and food for many species of wildlife. Raccoons love crayfish. Birds like herons will catch fish for dinner. Water striders skate along the surface to capture mosquitoes or insects that have fallen into the water. Birds also keep their feathers healthy by bathing in streams. If you dip your feet in Snakeden Branch stream by the Nature Center, you will notice the water feels refreshing, especially on a hot day. This is because the stream is shaded by the surrounding forest. A cool stream holds more oxygen for stream critters. Even though some streams in Reston are small, they are still important. Small streams join larger ones which lead to the Potomac River, connect to the Chesapeake Bay and ultimately the Atlantic Ocean. Please enjoy our local waterways. You can help them by throwing your trash in cans, keeping rocks where you found them, and being careful not to step on vegetation along the stream banks. What do you think you will discover this summer at the stream?

Get Storm Ready By Abby Stocking

While summer storms have always produced a thrill, it seems like they have increased in intensity. It is not uncommon these days to get heavy rainfall bursts throughout the warmer months. Homeowners would be wise to respond to these meteorological changes. Here are some things you can do to help you become ready for the storms ahead.

1. Know the Flow

· Observe your property and understand how stormwater flows. Identify any problem areas where puddles form or where erosion is occurring. Knowing your specific issues will help you determine a course of action.

2. Install a Rain Barrel

· Rain barrels attach to your downspouts and capture water that can be used on gardens during dry weather. They reduce water usage and slow water as it drains from roofs. For more information or to find a rain barrel workshop, visit https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/soil-water-conservation/rain-barrel.

3. Install a Rain Garden ·

Rain gardens are designed to capture the water from roofs, patios, driveways or lawns. They are an attractive way to temporarily hold and soak up water, reducing runoff. Water-loving native plants and soil filter pollutants out of the runoff. Installation may require professional help. A great homeowner’s guide to rain garden design and construction is available at https://bit.ly/2D1ISUT.

4. Foster Healthy Soil

· Compacted, unhealthy soil prevents rain water from soaking into the ground. To get well aerated and healthy soil, apply organic compost every year. Do not use chemical pesticides or fertilizers on your lawn or garden. · Skip bagging lawn clippings and allow grass to compost in place. You should get a healthier lawn while also keeping the soil protected.

5. Keep Storm Drains Clear

· Storm drains are grates along the sides of roads that allow water to flow off when it rains. They are avenues for water and do not have filters for trash or pollution. Do not treat them like trash cans- never put anything into a storm drain. · If you live near a storm drain, consider informally adopting it to make sure it remains clear of trash or plant debris. Report blockages to Fairfax County.
