Educational Trails
Two educational trails were cleared on the 17 acres of land acquired in 2016. The property includes forest, water, and bog areas. The first trail was completed in 2018 with the help of the Maryland Conservation Corps and parent volunteers. It includes signage and 2 separate gathering areas for instruction. The second trail was completed by Trail Conservancy, Inc. in 2021 and will include a platform along the water’s edge to allow for water study. |
