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. |
