Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge is home to the largest concentration of breeding bald eagles on the East Coast north of Florida, according to the Friends of Blackwater.
The annual Eagle count conducted at Blackwater this past January confirmed that once again, numbers of the once threatened Eagle are good.
On Saturday, March 16 the Refuge hosts its annual celebration of the iconic and resurgent national bird, birds of prey, and fellow feathered flyers in what’s billed as a free, family friendly festival from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Over the past few years, Alex and Lisa Green have poured their heart and soul into growing Harriet Tubman Tours. But while that effort has been underway, they’ve also been busy with another labor of love, nonprofit Harriet Tubman Center for Cultural and Educational Advancement (HTCCEA), and its cornerstone headquarters, The Harriet Tubman Freedom Center.
“For Lisa, education has always been an important focus. A while back we began doing tours for students of historically under resourced Title I schools, as part of the nonprofit focus. Now, with this building, we can offer additional education and enrichment activities to help empower the youngsters, and for the community, Green added.
