Chevy Chase is frequently considered to be one of the suburbs of Washington DC and while that’s true, the town also has a distinct atmosphere and cultural elements that are unique to it. And while it may be a suburb of the nation’s capital, it does not sit quietly in its shadow. Well, okay, maybe it does as everything in that region is overshadowed by the capital and rightly so. But the statement about Chevy Chase having its own atmosphere and unique aspects is also completely true. It is a choice commute location for people who work in DC but want to live outside the main center. And a Chevy Chase hotel is the perfect place to stay to enjoy a regionally oriented vacation.

The Audubon Naturalist Society is just one of the great aspects of this city that makes it distinct and appealing to the guests in a Chevy Chase hotel. This impressive organization is the oldest and the largest in the entire DC region of environmental agencies. Since its inception it has been a pioneering force in environmental conservation and various advocacy programs and it continues to be a main leader in linking environmental efforts with educational programs and services. And part of the organization’s mission is to create a greater appreciation for the environment in residents of the DC region.

Some of the programs and services that are provided and supported by the society include managing three wildlife sanctuaries, Rust, Webb and Woodend. Rust is a main center for lectures and fieldtrips and the diverse plant species provide the perfect backdrop. Webb is a beautiful woodland area with a nice meadow and streamland. It is a wonderful place to find some peace and quiet and get away from it all without having to go very far. It’s the perfect place for an afternoon tai chi break. Woodend is full of beautiful trails, a wildflower meadow and a living pond and admission to it is free to the public from dawn to dusk.
