CANCELED Pelot Sanctuary cleanup that was to be held Sunday, November 18

Canceled due to wetness of the trails.  We will reschedule for another time.

A secret gem in Caroline County, MD!

A great time at the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy's Lynch Preserve, off of Robins Creek Road, Preston!  Thanks to Tony and Karen Gianninoto for telling us about it.

Danny Poet, Steve Westre and Debby Bennett explored one of its trails Saturday, Nov 10.

The woods were just gorgeous.
