Arlington Regional Master Naturalists is expanding its public-education efforts on controlling the deer population, and is pressing the Arlington and Alexandria governments to join another local jurisdiction in culling herds within their borders.
âWe need human intervention,â said Marion Jordan, head of the Master Naturalists organization, at a Dec. 11 program sponsored by Virginia Cooperative Extension.
The organizationâs outreach efforts have reached more than 700 people, and its conclusions are sound, she said.
âWeâve done a lot of research,â Jordan said.
At the same time, she acknowledged the situation was both a âlarge and complexâ one and a âserious topicâ that could provoke community division.

In the darkness, my teenage son crunched away from our campsite, presumably to answer the call of nature. But when he didn’t come back right away, I sat up and called his name. “Mom, come out here,” he whispered. “The stars are amazing.”I stepped out of my tent, let my eyes adjust and followed the sound of his voice to a clearing near our campsite. Together we looked up at a black sky full of hundreds of twinkling stars, a glittering sugar bowl dumping out over our heads. “That’s the Milky Way,” my son pointed out.

Its present day members are anxiously awaiting to perform again for PRJC with a roster of exciting vocals and instrumental solos.
