Controlled burn clears 18 acres at Conowingo

CONOWINGO — Fifteen people representing the Maryland Forest Service and The Nature Conservancy worked together Tuesday to conduct a controlled burn of 18 acres of land known as The Serpentine Barrens along Old Conowingo Road. Chase McLean was the Fire Boss for this operation. “Based on the immediate fire effects, it appears that we were able to meet our ecological objectives for the burn, although the real results won’t show until next growing season,” McLean said. “Everyone remained safe and we did not have any incidents during the operation. Fire plays a vital role in the Serpentine Barrens ecosystem, and this burn will help us to enhance and maintain the health and resilience of this unique site.” Deborah Landau, director of ecological restoration for The Nature Conservancy, was also happy with the results. “The burn was 18 acres, took about four hours, and was a complete success,” Landau said. “We were able to reduce the (partially decaying organic material) layer, knock back the greenbrier, and increase the opening between the two barrens.” In the bamboo family of grasses, greenbriar is a thorny, vining plant that can choke out other species if not controlled. Before the controlled burn began, the people

A Province Changes Hands: Maryland Contested

On Christmas Day 1645, a Thursday, the House of Lords sat at Westminster and gave an order about a colony three thousand miles away. "Ordered by the Lords in Parlyament assembled, That the Comittee for forraigne Plantations, doe drawe vp an Ordinance, and present it to this howse, for the setling of the Plantation of Maryland vnder the Comand of Protestants, and for the indempnity of those that haue or shall act in this bussines."[1]The first colonists had landed in Maryland not quite twelve years before. Its charter belonged to Cecil Calvert, second Lord Baltimore, an English Catholic who had built the province on a bargain. Catholics would be left alone there, and so would everyone else who professed Christianity. It was his policy from the first, though it was not written into law until 1649. Few other places in the English world offered Catholics as much. The Lords were proposing to end that bargain by ordinance.

Neighborhood Guide: Where to Eat, Shop, and Play in Alexandria

Alexandria and DC have a complicated history. When the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801 established the 100 square miles that would become the nation’s capital, Alexandria—founded in 1749 and one of the oldest cities in the country—sat within its boundaries. But representatives of Alexandria immediately wanted out: As part of DC, they’d lost their position as the county seat in Fairfax, they couldn’t vote in congressional and presidential elections, and political and economic discord grew. Eventually, the interest in retrocession became mutual as abolitionists sought to outlaw slavery in DC and wanted Alexandria—then a hub for the trade of enslaved people—to be moved back to Virginia. In July 1846, that happened. The city continued to grow, with its prosperity, according to the tourism organization Visit Alexandria, “inextricably linked to the work of enslaved and free African Americans,” whose stories make up much of the town’s past. Today, it combines centuries of history with modern-day shops, restaurants, and activities for residents and visitors alike.
