Subject: Rock Creek Park Wildlife Meeting 3/29/05 
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 17:36:36 +0000 

The Town Hall meeting on wildlife and infrastructure 
problems in and near Rock Creek Park, which was 
postponed due to weather, has been reschuduled for 
Tuesday March 29. It is co-hosted by Councilmember 
Adrian Fenty, and Park Superintendent Adrienne 
Coleman. It should be interesting to hear from the 
Park as to plans and happenings, esp. to learn more 
about the coyotes that arrived last fall. Besides 
that, it's important that the views of those of us who 
care about the birds and other wildlife are 
represented. The park people may need our support, if 
past such meetings are a guide, so I'm told. 

This description is from Mr. Fenty's newsletter: 
"Tuesday, March 29: I and Rock Creek Park 
Superintendent Adrienne Coleman will co-host a Town 
Hall meeting on wildlife (including deer and coyotes) 
and infrastructure problems in and bordering on Rock 
Creek Park at the Rock Creek Park Nature Center (5200 
Glover Road, N.W.), beginning at 6:30 p.m. Dr. James 
Sherald and Scott Bates from the National Park 
Service, Kevin Sullivan from the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture, and Maria Hille from the D.C. Department 
of Health will answer questions from the community. 
Representatives from Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes 
Norton's office and the District's Department of 
Transportation (DDOT) have been invited as well. This 
event was previously postponed due to inclement 
weather." 

I'm planning to go, and hope others will too.
