SALUTE TO STAFFORD DAY
September 17, 2005

    All day long, a steady stream of people came by the Save Crow's Nest booth at the 2005 "Salute to Stafford Day."  Some were already members coming by to say hello.  Most, though, had heard about Crow's Nest but wanted to know more.  They watched the 12-minute Crow's Nest documentary.  They looked at--and were appalled by--a map of the proposed development plan that would lead to 1,000 houses on Crow's Nest.  They asked questions of the volunteers at the booth and, more often than not, signed on in the effort to save Crow's Nest.
     Photos from that day are posted below.

Will Crow's Nest be around when she grows up?

Crow's Nest is home to many barred owls such as this one.  
It is being shown by Kent Knowles from the Raptor Conservancy of Virginia, 
which rehabilitates injured birds and releases them back into the wild.
