. Visit the Sanctuary during its first “open house.” Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy has invited our JK Black Oak partners — The Nature Conservancy, Land Trust of Virginia, and Lucketts Ruritans — to showcase their organizations and contributions to JK Black Oak. This will give you an opportunity to learn more about the wetlands mitigation project, conservation easements, and community involvement. During the open house we will lead short nature walks so you can experience the property firsthand, enjoy its beauty, and learn more about the vernal pools and the creatures they support. Questions: Contact Gerco Hoogeweg at ghoogeweg@loudounwildlife.org or Allison Gallo at agallo@loudounwildlife.org. Additional details will be provided on our website. To protect the environmentally sensitive habitat and rare species, the Sanctuary is not open for general public access, and can only be visited during events such as this.

This is a fundraiser for a local childhood cancer non-profit.
