FREE SLIDE SHOW AVAILABLE ON COUNTY PARKS

 

The Parks Foundation has produced a 30-minute PowerPoint slide presentation on the evolution of Montgomery County’s nationally acclaimed park and open space system.  In addition to providing a historical perspective on the development of Montgomery County, this program provides viewers with an armchair look at the breathtaking beauty and first class facilities offered in our county parks.  The challenge of maintaining 31,400 acres of parkland and facilities during tight budget years, plus opportunities for the public to get involved in support of our parks, are explored.

 

This program is available with a speaker for community meetings of 15 people or more by contacting Ken Nicholls at the Foundation office, (301) 767-0002 or knicholls@montgomeryparksfnd.org.  You can visit the Foundation’s web site at www.montgomeryparksfnd.org.
