Looking for a website development intern:

The project idea had its genesis with the beginnings of the HOT lane work. The clearing project is causing the destruction of wildlife habitats and the removal of many native plants as well as old growth quality forest. The general concept of the project is to bring together a variety of organizations to address the soil restoration, wildlife and plant issues being created by the HOT lane project. In addition, it would bring together partners to provide support to address potential environmental impacts of future growth and development. The project will support the county's green initiative and can grow in scope and focus as the project matures. It could include planting of trees, preserving RPAs, soil restoration, addressing invasive plants, restoration of wildlife habitats, and community gardening. The partner who is bringing the project to the table references two projects in other areas of the county as examples of the type and scope of the potential project: The New York Restoration project (www.NYRP.org) and a project between the Wildlife Habitat Council and the Georgia Power Company to restore their retention lines. She has reached out and garnered possible support from: Linda Burchfiel (Environmental Quality Advisory Council), The National Wildlife Habitat Council, The Potomac Watershed groups, Friends of Accotink, Sharon Bulova’s office (Mark Thomas), Jeanette Stewart (For Lands and Waters – Donaldson Run Project).
