Educational Illustration for HOLH

Educational Products 1)Create web-based interaction and interpretation launched from the illustration. 2)Create an educational tool to take out to the public to interpret HOLH. 3)Create a traveling exhibit that explains the concept of natural capital resource management with HOLH.

Management Actions We use current best practices for the management of the full natural system from soil to canopy. We also experiment with new options to find the best overall techniques for Fairfax County’s diverse holding of natural resource rich properties. The Park Authority is partnering with multiple organizations to share results and improve the quality of natural resource management within our urban/suburban community.

Experiment for Best Practices Partnering with multiple NGO’s, County Agencies, Schools/Universities, Governments, and Contractors. Actions are multi-faceted to ensure repeatable results. Lessons learned will be applied other places to continue research and learning. Further research and actions by partners will be fed back to the Park Authority to inform best practices by staff. The Park Authority is receiving notoriety for managing open space in this way. The Sully Stewardship Education Center concept includes lab space to be used by staff and partnering groups to continue informing how we manage natural resources in the best way.
