Untamed Reads Starts This Evening at 5:30!

Posted on by

This year we’re going to have a wild books collective. We’ll gather every final Thursday of the month from 5:30-6:30pm at the fireplace in the Nature Center (until it is warm enough to start having outdoor firepits and s’mores).

Readings are for both adults and another set for 3rd-6th grade (pre-teen readers). Then there will be a showcased picture book here in the Nature Center as well for our little friends who come and visit the animals during the day. The books for all ages follow a common theme. …If you would like a full listing of our books come grab a print-off at the Nature Center or drop me an email at Naturalist@BroadlandsHOA.com.

And I’ll see you the final Thursday of each month at 5:30 with some hot chocolate by the fireplace. This event is open to all members of the community and free of charge. Broadlands Naturalist – Erin Fairlight

Bullfrog Pond County Survey

Posted on by

December 28, 2017

The County of Loudoun is responsible for the four inlet pipes that take stormwater into the pond.  Representatives of the county’s Department of General Services, Public Works Division oversee the stormwater management program.  Their engineers have advised us that they will be surveying the pond inlets in the coming weeks to delineate the tree preserve and protected wetlands areas.  Land surveyors will mark these areas with stakes and/or tape.  Please DO NOT REMOVE or relocate these survey markers.  The survey work will not encroach onto any private property and will not hinder activities.  We expect surveying to be performed in January.  Additional information regarding work to be performed will be distributed in the coming months as further details are received.

If you have questions regarding this information, please contact Karl E. Evans, Senior Stormwater Engineer at 703-771-5358 or Karl.Evans@loudoun.gov.

Fire Lane Painting

Posted on by

Dec 5, Update: The contractor continues to clean and prep the roads, which should be completed by Thursday 12/7.  Painting and stenciling will continue into next week, which will include the Nature Center Parking lot.

Nov 28: Specialty Services of Virginia has been contracted to do fire lane painting.  Beginning Monday, November 27, they began prepping by hydroblasting the old paint and debris off the curbs. This will take a few days. Next, they will blow the debris off the roads and (if needed) may come back to sweep the streets.  They will then paint all the lanes yellow and then come back to do the black FIRE LANE stenciling.  Because they will do the hydroblasting first, there may be debris on the roads for a few days while they move through the remaining sections.  Work is weather dependent.
