Bryan Birch

Member at Large

Bryan Birch serves as the Deputy Executive Director, and Director Member Services, for the Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States (EANGUS).

In 1984, he left for boot camp from New York where he grew up. After seven and a half years of faithful service in the United States Marine Corp, he was honorably discharged in 1992 and began his 27 years of employment with EANGUS. EANGUS has awarded him various Letters of Appreciation and made him an Honorary Life member of the EANGUS Auxiliary. In 2005 he received the highest award, the Minuteman Award, given by EANGUS for outstanding and exceptional service to the Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States.

He is active in his local church and his community of Gum Springs, where he and Ursula, his wife of 26 years, live. He has been responsible for activating the Gum Springs cleanup, which had languished prior to his efforts, and was named TRASHMASTER of Little Hunting Creek.

Join Us!

Friends of Little Hunting Creek is a grassroots, volunteer-led organization that began as a group of genuinely concerned neighbors living near the creek. We need your help to protect this beautiful place – join us today!

Our vision is a beautiful, healthy creek that supports wildlife living in it and along its shores, and provides recreation and respite to humans that live nearby. We envision a shared sense of community responsibility for the health of the Little Hunting Creek watershed and appreciation for its beauty.
