Description
RESTON, VA — Connie Hartke and her husband have been living near Lake Audubon in Reston for about 18 years. Among the things she helped to rescue in that time are a Red-Bellied Cooter (turtle) wrapped in fishing line and a silver haired bat that had been knocked down by heavy winds recently.
"These are the kinds of rescues I'd really like to be spending my time doing," she said.
In addition to being a member of the Reston Citizens Association's Board of Directors, Hartke is also the president of Rescue Reston, a grassroots organization focused on keeping Reston's two golf courses from being redeveloped.
Hartke discussed Rescue Reston's work during Lunch with the Reston Reporter Facebook Live on Friday.
