Gulf Branch Nature Center

A few years ago, Arlington County ran into some budget trouble. Among the cuts they decided to make was closing the Gulf Branch Nature Center. An outdoors educational facility that serves all of the citizens of Arlington, Virginia. Through the efforts of the citizens, the county board backed off of the proposal and has continued to operate the center(albeit reduced hours).

The Yorktown Yahoos were among the groups who volunteered to help out in raising awareness of the importance of the facility and to pressure the board into continued funding.

Here we are outside of Walker Cabin which is located on the property of the Nature Center.

Yorktown Yahoos Arlington Day Parade

Arlington used to have a parade on Arlington Day. It was eliminated during a tough budget year. We hope it comes back again soon. It was a very popular community event. Here is a link to a photo of us on our float. Here are two different years that we participated.
