Public Hearing Announced for

Woodstock Equestrian Park Master Plan

December 20, 2001 (New Date)

 

The Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission’s (M-NCPPC) Montgomery County Planning Board is inviting the public to testify on the plans for the Woodstock Equestrian Park, Thursday, December 20, 2001 at M-NCPPC’s Auditorium, 8787 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland. 

 

The Woodstock Equestrian Park is a 772-acre park located in Beallsville. It is comprised of land that was donated to the Commission from Mr. Hermen Greenberg of Washington, D.C. and Mr. William Rickman, Sr. of Potomac, Maryland specifically for equestrian use.  The development will include the Moritz Greenberg Equestrian Center named for Hermen’s father and the Dr. William Rickman Equestrian Center, named for Bill Rickman’s great-great grandfather.  Phase one development includes maintaining the agricultural fields, installing fencing along the Rt. 28 property frontage, creation of equestrian trails within the park, and stabilization of the historic structures on the property.  Mr. Greenberg and Mr. Rickman have offered to build the entrances to the park.  Future phases for development may include competition and schooling rings, cross-country courses for eventing, an indoor arena and polo field.  A future Route 28 underpass is also being recommended for safe passage from one side of the road to the other and to replace a proposed temporary at – grade trail crossing on Route 28.

 

Copies of the plans are available at the Information Desk at Park and Planning Headquarters in Silver Spring, 8787 Georgia Avenue, the Poolesville Library at 19633 Fisher Lane in the Poolesville Town Center, or at the Linden Barn, Home of Sugarloaf Citizens Association, 20900 Martinsburg Road in Dickerson.

 

To sign up in advance to testify, please call the Board’s Community Relations Office, (301) 495-4600.  Organizations have five minutes to speak and individuals have three minutes.  To submit written comments in advance, please write to Mr. Arthur Holmes, Jr., Chairman, Montgomery County Planning Board, 8787 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910, or fax to (301) 495-1320.

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 ˝ 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.
