SUMMARY:MLC's Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Rachael Peabody\, New Executive Director of Middle Peninsula Planning District Commission\, Shares Overview of VA’s Working Waterfront Grant and 2026 Goals!  \nRachael Peabody previously served as the Assistant Director of Restoration for the Elizabeth River Project in Norfolk and spent six years (2014 –2020) at VMRC working for both its Fisheries and Habitat Management Divisions. “Virginia’s coastal ecosystems support fisheries\, wildlife\, aquaculture\, navigation\, carbon storage and tourism\, and provide significant naturaldefenses against coastal storms. Sea level rise and climate change is a key threat to the health of our marine environments\, fisheries\, and economy now and in the future.”  \nRachael’s love for the marine environment and passion for conservation of its natural resources began at the University of West Alabama where she worked as a graduate student at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. Her Master’s research focused on the impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on intertidal fish communities in an Alabama salt marsh. Her work along the east coast on commercial fishing vessels and building relationships within the fishing and marine industries has engrained in Rachael the importance of balanced and sustainable management of our marine resources to sustain healthy coastal communities.

SUMMARY:The Virginia Campaign of 1775: Great Bridge & Removing Dunmore
DESCRIPTION:Join the Mathews VA250 Committee for a lecture with author and military historian Patrick Hannum\, featuring information on The Virginia Campaign of 1775: Great Bridge and Removing Dumore! \nThe political-military operating environment in Virginia during 1775 evolved quickly and dramatically. Two days after the clash at Lexington and Concord\, Lord Dunmore\, Virginia’s last royal colonial governor\, seized the powder from the public magazine in Williamsburg. This set off a series of events that led to multiple military clashes on Virginia soil. During December\, Patriots bloodied Dunmore’s regulars and Loyalist militia at Great Bridge in modern Chesapeake\, Virginia. The year ended with the newly formed Patriot army in control of the critical port city of Norfolk under command of a Continental officer from North Carolina. Providing context for these events allows for an appreciation of the military operations that follow and Virginia’s role in leading the movement for independence.  \nThe event is free and open to the public\, with refreshments provided.
