Heart of Gold Award

 

Congratulations to Harrison A. Glasgow, long-time board member of Friends of Huntley Meadows Park; founder of the FCPA Federation of Friends Groups; Fairfax County Park Foundation Board Officer; and U.S. ARMY Veteran!


 

Harry was awarded the 2019 Wildlife Hero Award by the Prince William Conservation Alliance in October.


 

This award honors Harry's lifelong work and leadership protecting wild spaces in Northern Virginia through tours, talks and service on local boards and commissions.


 

Fairfax County parks have benefitted significantly thanks to this veteran's dedication and passion for the natural world.  He serves as an example to many through his work as a valued volunteer.

Enjoy a crisp 6K run along the scenic path of Pinecrest Golf Course at the inaugural Birds & Birdies 6K walk/run, on Saturday, November 16 at 10:30 a.m.

Pinecrest is home to a variety of native bird species as well as native plants and flowers, making this a one-of-a-kind, must do event! The race is professionally timed and includes a race t-shirt, goody bag and medals for all finishers.

The course is certified by Audubon International for its efforts to protect the environment. Pinecrest is also recognized by Monarchs in the Rough as a certified butterfly habitat for dedication to maintaining pollinator plants.
