Keeping Vienna’s Northside Park free of invasive plants.

September 25, 2009 By Doug Francis

invasive plantThe Town of Vienna Parks and Recreation Department is seeking volunteers on Saturday, September 26th to help identify and remove invasive plants in Northside Park. As in most suburban areas across the country, non-native plants are growing out of control and impacting the natural environment for native plant species.

invasive plant teamThe Northside Park Invasive Management Team Training is set to meet from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Glyndon Street side of the park. From Route 123, turn at the TD Bank and continue up Glyndon Street NE until it dead-ends at the Park and Vienna Property Yard.

Volunteers should bring gloves and wear comfortable, protective clothing such as long sleeve shirts and long pants. You may want to wear water proof shoes or boots.

For more information, contact Vienna Parks and Recreation Director Cathy Salgado at 703-255-6356 or via e-mail @ csalgado@viennava.gov

About Doug Francis

A Realtor specializing in unique and new homes around Vienna, Virginia, Doug started writing a first-hand blog about his everyday real estate experiences a decade ago. In-depth, helpful and fun has always been the objective. Outside real estate, he was profiled in a commercial for Verisign's "Where the World Clicks" global ad campaign, and was quoted in Money Magazine's Best Places to Live article on Vienna (#3!). He's a Boston University graduate who feels morning coffee is non-negotiable.

Vienna real estate agent Doug Francis

When we bought our house, we were thinking about raising the kids, updating, and building an addition. With our kids now out of college, our plans are looking at our next phase, especially after seeing friends move away and adjust their lifestyles.

So, what’s next after 25 years? It’s a conversation lots of my clients are having with me as they plan to move to the beach, travel, or move closer to grandkids. Helping them see their future, sell their current home, and move ahead to their new plan has been an interesting new chapter.

My background… I am an active licensed agent in Virginia, work at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty in McLean, and sell homes in all price ranges. I donate to the Town of Vienna tree replacement fund, participate in a neighborhood citizens association, and try my best to stay in shape.

Let me help you too: Email doug@dougfrancis.com or call me at (703) 304-6827 to discuss your plans. Cheers!

Where your house meets home buyers

Home sellers are often caught off guard when I explain that today’s home buyers will decide on their house before ever stepping foot in it. The days of spending hours driving around looking at seven, eight, or nine houses on a sunny Saturday are over. Yes, meeting at 9:00 a.m. to review the available listings […]

“Doug nailed it! Within days, we had three offers, one of which not only met, but far exceeded all of our goals.”
– R. Pollard

“He truly was a partner integrating us unto the community and made it easy for us to take advantage of all Vienna has to offer.”
– A. D’Eredita

“We are so thankful we found Doug to guide us through the complex home selling and buying processes!”
– Scott and Jennie
