The Potomac Valley Nature Writers' Group (PVNWG) formed in early
2009
to promote the art and appreciation of nature writing. This genre
of
literature explores and celebrates the natural world and our
relationship within it. PVNWG welcomes both readers and writers to
participate.
Members meet each month to discuss a particular nature writer and
his
or her work. The group encourages members' writing efforts such as
nature blogging and nature journaling. Group members will
coordinate
the Poetry Walk for the PVAS Yankauer Wildflower Festival this
year.

Potomac Valley Nature Photographers meet the fourth Friday of each month
at the National Conservation Training Center at 7pm. To learn more about
this group, go to

The Ruth Ann Dean Memorial Birdathon was held for the first time in 2010,
on May 8-9, and it will be held annually from now on. Here is the
list of the bird species identified
during the 2010 Birdathon. This list will be updated each year to provide a
longitudinal record for the event. And here is a
spreadsheet of the list.
