DEER DAMAGE CONTROL WORKSHOPS AVAILABLE FREE

To Homeowners Associations, Civic Organizations, And Garden Clubs

 

Increased deer populations have had a number of impacts on suburban Montgomery County.  Deer have added aesthetic value to the area, but the increasing deer population has had undesirable effects as well including damage to home landscapes and gardens, and increased risks of Lyme disease.

 

The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission and the Montgomery County Cooperative Extension Office are co-sponsoring educational workshops to help homeowners cope with and minimize deer damage to their landscapes and gardens.  Workshops stress an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach and provide homeowners with proven strategies to reduce deer problems. 

 

Workshops are 1 ½ to 2 hours in length and offered free of charge.   A minimum of 20 attendees is required.  To schedule a workshop for your Homeowners/Civic Association or Garden Club, please call the Montgomery County Cooperative Extension Office at (301) 590-2809.

 

 

 

Free Slide Presentation on County Parks

Now Available to Civic Groups

 

The Montgomery Parks Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports unmet park needs in Montgomery County, is offering a fascinating PowerPoint slide presentation on the evolution of Montgomery County’s nationally acclaimed park and open space system.

 

This one-half hour program features slides of the early development of Rock Creek and Sligo Creek parks, a review of the “wedges and corridors” concept that led to protecting county stream valleys and the concentration of development in certain areas, the highly successful Agricultural Reserve program, and the newest initiative for acquiring parkland and open space -- the Legacy Open Space program. 

 

In addition to providing an historical perspective on Montgomery County’s development, this program provides viewers with an armchair look at the breathtaking beauty and first class facilities offered in our county parks.  Volunteer projects and private-public partnerships are highlighted to demonstrate how community groups and area businesses can get involved in preserving this outstanding legacy.

 

For further information, call (301) 767-0002 or e-mail info@montgomeryparksfnd.org.  The Foundation’s web site is www.montgomeryparksfnd.org.
