Reston Association has selected Walden Cluster’s Halloween Parade and Party as the neighborhood association event of the year.

Red Fox Photographed in Walden Cluster

A red fox has been seen in Walden Cluster over the past month or so, and during the recent snow, it was photographed near the cluster dock. Here are some of the pictures taken. You can click on either of the pictures to get a better view.

Typically, red foxes range from 12 to 18 pounds. They primarily feed on small rodents (8 pounds or less), but they will also eat plants. They’re most active at dusk and dawn. (The pictures above were taken in early morning.) If you have any concerns about a fox being in the neighborhood, there is an informative article about foxes published by The Humane Society in the link below.

Cluster Documents Updated

The Walden Cluster Board has updated documentation on the cluster’s operating procedures and on the design standards.  The modified operating procedures include  guidance on the temporary use of storage pods.  Regarding the other document, though there have not been any recent Reston-approved changes to Walden’s design standards, the update provides some additional clarifying language on existing design standards.  The latest documents are available in the Cluster Operating Procedures and Cluster Design Standards links on the left frame of this page.
