  • Maryland State Parks Plant 10,000 Trees for Earth Day 50Th Anniversary
    Maryland State Parks Plant 10,000 Trees for Earth Day 50th Anniversary Posted by TBN(Staff) On 04/23/2020 The Maryland Park Service is planting more than 10,000 trees in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, April 22, 2020. From the shores of Assateague Island to the mountains of Western Maryland, rangers will plant native trees on public lands to mark the occasion. A special Wye Oak seedling — a descendant of a white oak that lived for centuries in Talbot County — was planted at Sandy Point State Park near Annapolis by Maryland Park Service Superintendent Nita Settina. “Once this white oak tree matures, it will support more than 500 species of insects essential to feeding young birds every spring,” said Superintendent Settina. The white oak — Quercus alba — is Maryland’s state tree, and is found in every county and Baltimore City. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources stresses the importance of planting native trees and other plants, which support Maryland’s butterfly, moth, and bird populations. According to the Maryland Forest Service, trees also provide cost-effective stormwater management, reduce flooding by absorbing and slowing rainfall, limit stream bank erosion, filter pollutants, improve water quality in streams and rivers, improve air quality, reduce energy costs by shading and insulating buildings, and much more. Through various initiatives, the Maryland Forest Service plants millions of trees and seedlings each year. “Planting native trees on our public lands is a perfect way to mark this special Earth Day,” Maryland Secretary of Natural Resources Secretary Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio said. “The most important lesson of the past 50 years is that everyone can make a difference and every contribution, no matter how big or small, is vital to our overall success.

  • Birding in Southern Maryland Calvert, Charles, St
    Birding in Southern Maryland Calvert, Charles, St. Mary’s and Southern Prince George’s Counties Produced by Southern Maryland Audubon Society Society Birding in Southern Maryland This brochure was especially designed for birders. If you are traveling through and have the urge to bird for a while, we hope this brochure will help you locate some spots local birders enjoy without wasting time looking for them. Our list in the back of this brochure includes some less common sightings as well as resident and migrant birds. If you are a resident birder, we hope you will eventually be able to put a checkmark beside each species. Good Birding! NOTE: Any birds sighted which are not on the checklist in the back of this brochure or are marked with an asterisk should be reported to [email protected]. Species notations, such as preferred habitat and seasonality are listed at the end of the checklist in the back of this brochure. Olive Sorzano 1920-1989 This brochure is dedicated to the memory of Olive Sorzano, a charter member of the Southern Maryland Audubon Society from 1971 until her death in 1989. A warm, generous, kind and thoughtful person, Olive came to represent the very soul of Southern Maryland Audubon. Throughout the years, she held various positions on the Board of Directors and willingly helped with nearly all activities of the growing chapter. She attended every membership meeting and every field trip, always making sure that new members were made welcome and novice birders were encouraged and assisted. Living on the Potomac River in Fenwick, a wooded community in Bryans Road, Maryland, she studied her land and water birds, keeping a daily list of what she saw or heard with her phenomenal ears.

  • A Guide to Paddle-In Campsites on the Chesapeake Bay
    A Guide to Paddle-in Campsites on the Chesapeake Bay By Ralph Heimlich Kayak touring involves a group loading their boats with all the camping gear and supplies needed for a several-day paddle. Ideally, launches and camping spots for kayak touring are spaced about a day’s paddle apart, say 10-12 miles for the average paddler. Another requirement is that the launch spot should be reasonably secure so that you have some assurance of finding an operable vehicle when you arrive back from the trip trying to drive home. This is a catalog of 57 formal paddle-in sites I know of on the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries. Contact me if I’ve missed any that you know about. There are numerous other “unofficial” (commando) sites that people have used. These are not suitable for groups or organized group trips. Patuxent River—The many sites along the Patuxent Water Trail are shown on the Patuxent Water Trail site (http://patuxentwatertrail.org/, and on the printed Patuxent River Water Trail Guide and GPS-ready Map by Dave Linthicum available at http://paxriverkeeper.org/product/patuxent-watertrail-navigation- map-non-waterproof-edition/. Paddle-in sites are listed by river mile (measured from the mouth of the Patuxent) and from upstream to downstream. Generally, these sites have a picnic table, fire ring, porta- potty and no water (exceptions noted). Reservations should be made well ahead of your planned trip since the process can be time consuming. Iron Pot Landing (River mile 44A (45 on the map))—This site is located just below the Billingsley Point manor house on Western Branch.

  • Chesapeake Bay Trust Maryland Outdoor Spaces - Legislator Favorites 1/21/21
    Chesapeake Bay Trust Maryland Outdoor Spaces - Legislator Favorites 1/21/21 On January 21, 2021, more than 60 legislators attended the Chesapeake Bay Trust’s virtual legislative reception. They were invited to share some of their favorite outdoor spots in their districts and throughout Maryland. Their contributions were so wonderful that we were asked to compile them and send them to attendees. As Senate President Bill Ferguson said, “Our parks are those spaces that bring Marylanders together to get that fundamental belief in love of family, of friends, of each other.” “Our 6,400 parks and green spaces are a great way to boost your mental and overall health” added House Speaker Adrienne Jones.” Maryland Department of Natural Resources Secretary Jeanne Haddaway-Riccio reminded us all how diverse Maryland is, and we see this in the list of favorite spots below. Below is YOUR list! The sites on the list below are not exhaustive, but were those suggested by legislators and guests present that evening as places they visit to get outdoors and feel refreshed and recharged. The entries include a word or two about the site, at times thoughts from your colleagues, the name of the legislator suggesting the site, and a website for more information. You can visit by yourself or call up your colleagues and ask for a personal tour! Anne Arundel County B&A Trail, great for walking, biking, rollerblading, and more, stretches from Boulters Way in Annapolis to Dorsey Road in Glen Burnie, Maryland. The Earleigh Heights Ranger Station (ca. 1889) is located in Severna Park with parking available on the premises.
