  • 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.

  • DNR Maryland Fall Foliage Report: October 30, 2020
    DNR Maryland Fall Foliage Report: October 30, 2020 Posted by TBN(Staff) On 10/29/2020 ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Welcome to the Fall Foliage Report for October 30, brought to you by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. We are looking forward to a full moon Hallo-weekend with peaking foliage in parts of central Maryland! Weverton Cliffs, South Mountain State Park, photo by Emily Bard Dan Hedderick, project forester, Forest Service, Allegany County, reports: “The end of last week was the best time to be out in Western Maryland. Now the wind and rain have set in to bring down our leaves. We are past peak. The forest will take a nap for the winter, but rest assured it will rush back in the spring setting up another flush of leaves. Until next year, enjoy our forests!” Emily Bard, South Mountain State Park: “The leaves are starting to fall, but there is still plenty to see at South Mountain Recreation Area. Be aware that popular overlooks and scenic viewpoints have been crowded, and plan accordingly!” Elk Neck State Park Hickory Tree at the Fair Hill NRMA, photo by Chris Grieco In the state’s northeast, Ranger Shawna Staup reports: “Elk Neck State Park and other areas of Cecil County are displaying peak coloration. At the park, there are mostly yellow and orange leaves with some red trees scattered in the mix. It is a very beautiful time to go for a hike.” Little Gunpowder Falls, photo by Angela Crenshaw Ranger Diana Marsteller, Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area, says: “While we are passing peak foliage here at the park don’t let that dissuade you… now that many of our trees are bare you can see some of the ruins found throughout the park more easily.

  • Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution
    ANIMALS RECENTLY EXTINCT OR THREATENED WITH EXTERMINATION, AS REPRESENTED IN THE COLLECTIONS OF THE U, S. NATIONAL MUSEUM, By Fbedekic A. Lucas, Assistcmt Curator of the Department of Comparative Anatomy. It is not, perhaps, generally realized how extensive and how rapid are the changes that are taking place in almost the entire fauna of the world through the agency of man. Of course changes have perpetu- ally taken place in the past through the operation of natural causes, and race after race of animals has disappeared from the globe, but there is this wide difference between the methods of nature and man ; that the extermination of species by nature is ordinarily slow, and the place of one is taken by another, while the destruction wrought by man is rapid, ami the gaps he creates remain unfilled. Some of the more obvious causes of extermination are to be found iu the systematic killing of animals for their various products, the destruc- tion caused by domesticated animals introduced into new countries, and the bringing of wild land under cultivation. These are the more simple and apparent destructive forces at work, and those that most directly affect the larger animals, smaller creatures being influenced by smaller causes. Thus the erection of telegraph wires, especially in sparsely wooded regions, has proved very destructive to birds, and a more deadly though more restricted source of danger is found in lofty electric lights, against which the birds dash themselves during their nocturnal migra- tions. The extinction of the Itytina and Great Auk, the almost com- plete extirpation of the Bison, and the reduced numbers of the Walrus are good examples of destruction wrought directly by the hand of man, while in addition to such cases are the still more numerous instances of the very perceptible decrease of animals once abundant.

  • GEORGE CALVERT in 1632, King Charles I of England Granted a Large Area of Land Near the Chesapeake Bay to George Calvert
    WELCOME! On behalf of Splash! Publications, we would like to welcome you to Maryland, one of ve lessons in our Middle Atlantic States Unit. This lesson was designed by teachers with you and your students in mind. Each lesson in this unit has been professionally recorded with words and music on Audio CD. Differentiate instruction with this unit by setting up a listening center in your classroom. THE FORMAT Our goal is a lesson that you can use immediately. No comprehension questions to write, activities to create, or vocabulary words to de ne. Simply make copies of the lesson for your students and start teaching. THE VOCABULARY Our lessons feature words in bold type. We have included a Glossary to help students pronounce and de ne the words. Unlike a dictionary, the de nitions in the Glossary are concise and written in context. Remember, we’re teachers! Students will be exposed to these vocabulary words in the comprehension activities. They will also be tested on the vocabulary words at the end of the lesson. Students will be responsible for lling out and studying their vocabulary cards. You may want to have students bring in a small box for storing their vocabulary cards. We don’t have to tell you that incorporating these words into your Reading and Spelling programs will save time and make the words more meaningful for students. THE LESSON PLAN Before reading Maryland, students will: • complete Vocabulary Cards for admired, anthem, bay, blockade, capitol, Catholics, charter, Christians, con icts, donated, England, Europeans, gallantly, harsh, House of Representatives, landmark, military, perilous, plantations, preserve, prevent, Protestants, quarreled, ramparts, recreational, resorts, retreated, revolted, salute, secede, Senate, statute, tavern.
