Patuxent Research Refuge Celebrates Wildlife Conservation Day
2019-08-24 10:00 - 14:00 | Patuxent Research Refuge North Tract, 230 Bald Eagle Drive, Laurel, MD, United States
Patuxent Research Refuge Celebrates Wildlife Conservation Day
The Patuxent Research Refuge will be celebrating Wildlife Conservation Day on Saturday, August 24th from 10:00 AM– 2:00 PM at the North Tract of the Refuge.
The public is invited to take guided hikes, participate in a scavenger hunt, learn tips on birding, wildlife photography and observation, practice fly tying, fishing, see raptors and other live birds, watch working dogs retrieve, participate in archery and firearms demonstrations, and engage in crafts for the younger children. We also encourage visitors to explore the trails and solve puzzles by using our smartphone app Agents of Discovery. Please download the app prior to arriving. There will also be information about hunter safety, accessible hunting and fishing, as well as other conservation and recreational opportunities, in the area. Exhibitors/participants will include the Meade Natural Heritage Association, the National Wild Turkey Federation, Healing Waters, Chesapeake Women Anglers, Wings Over America and others.
According to Refuge Manager, Brad Knudsen, “Conservation Day celebrates all wildlife conservation efforts and especially the contributions of hunters and anglers in conserving our natural habitats and wildlife resources. The vast lands that make up the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Wildlife Refuge System provide not only habitats for wildlife, but provide opportunities for people to enjoy wildlife-related recreational activities such as wildlife observation and wildlife photography, bird watching, hunting, fishing and interpretive programs as well as educational programs. We hope people in the Baltimore/Washington metropolitan area will take advantage of the opportunities provided by Patuxent and other wildlife refuges in the area.”
The North Tract of Patuxent Research Refuge is located at 230 Bald Eagle Drive off of MD Route 198 between the Baltimore/Washington Parkway and Route 32, east of Laurel, MD. If you have any special needs please contact the Refuge at least two weeks prior to the event so that we may accommodate you.

10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.

Description
The College of Agriculture, Urban Sustainability and Environmental Sciences (CAUSES), of the University of the District of Columbia (UDC), invites you to tour our Green Roof; hear more about sustainable agriculture from our Master Gardener Program Coordinator, Sandy Farber Bandier; and learn about green roof design from David Bell, of BELL Architects.
Our 20,000 square foot Green Roof is the food production site of the Van Ness Urban Food Hub. The roof showcases four types of production: (1) high-revenue plants (e.g., herbs, greens); (2) high-nutrition plants that can cover the entire range of dietary needs (e.g., tomatoes, peppers, chards, cabbages); (3) pollinator plants that ensure bee health in our urban environment; and (4) low-maintenance plants that help capture rain, reduce runoff, cool buildings in the summer, and provide insulation in the winter. In addition to food production, the Green Roof is also used to conduct research on plant varieties that thrive in roof environments.

This event is FREE and open to the public. Registration requested.

US Youth Climate Strike at the Capitol
2019-08-05 08:00 - 17:00 | MD
US Youth Climate Strike at the Capitol
Friday, September 20 • 10 am

September 20, at 10 am, there will be student led climate protests at the Capitol. At 8 am, there will be send off rallies at Metro stations, including Silver Spring. For more information on local actions, contact Takoma Park Mobilization Environmental Committee at environment@tpmobilization.org.

MISSION:
We, the youth of America, are striking because the science says we have just a few years to transform our energy system, reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, and prevent the worst effects of climate change. We are striking because our world leaders have yet to acknowledge, prioritize, or properly address our climate crisis. We are striking because marginalized communities across our nation —especially communities of color, disabled communities, and low- income communities— are already disproportionately impacted by climate change. We are striking because if the social order is disrupted by our refusal to attend school, then the system is forced to face the climate crisis and enact change. With our futures at stake, we call for radical legislative action to combat climate change and its countless detrimental effects on the American people. We are striking for the Green New Deal, for a fair and just transition to a 100% renewable economy, and for ending the creation of additional fossil fuel infrastructure. Additionally, we believe the climate crisis should be declared a national emergency because we are running out of time.

GROUND WAR: When Playing Fields Become Battlefields (Pesticide Documentary)
Must Watch! What’s the true nature of the chemical war with the ground, exposing our families and pets, washing off in our waterways, and affecting wildlife?
Sun, Jun 30, 2019 6:15 – 9:15 PM
Arts Barn (Theater) Gaithersburg, 311 Kent Square Road, Gaithersburg, MD 20878

Sierra Club Maryland Chapter is please to co-sponsor the Maryland premiere of the new pesticide documentary, GROUND WAR. The free showing is hosted by Kentlands Community Foundation’s GO GREEN program with the support of additional co-sponsors: City of Gaithersburg, Safe Grow Montgomery, Beyond Pesticides, MOM’s Organic Market, Muddy Branch Alliance.

ABOUT THE FILM: Ground War is filmmaker Andrew Nisker’s investigation into the death of his father. Nisker’s inquiry takes him deep into the world of golf, chemical lobbying, and citizen activism. Through his investigation, Nisker learns that the rampant use of pesticides around the world may be far more damaging than we understand.
What chance do we have at creating a safer world for our children and ourselves? The answer may lie with the incredible people he encounters along his journey.
Recent Montgomery County legislation that limits pesticide use in lawns is part of this documentary, along with highlighting local Safe Grow Montgomery coalition’s advocacy on this law. This film was shown earlier this spring at the DC Environmental Film Festival.
Door open at 6:15pm, light refreshments and wine will be served as part of a fundraiser. Come early to visit and talk to sponsors and activists, and pick up relevant information at the sponsor tables, followed by 7:00pm documentary showing. There will be a discussion after the film with the filmmaker, Andrew Nisker and local environmental advocates. Donations will be accepted for the filmmaker Andrew Nisker.

Showing is free, however seating is limited. Please RSVP tickets at: bit.ly/groundwarmd
