Monthly Meeting
A Year of Botanical Exploration in Maryland and Vicinity
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
7:30 p.m.
Join members of MNPS' Botany Committee (and maybe the Maryland Natural Heritage Program) for a presentation on the results of botanical surveys and field trips throughout the state and adjoining region over the past year. The presentation will include newly discovered species for Maryland by DNR and MNPS from the Eastern Shore and Patuxent area; surveys in the "sand belt" region of Anne Arundel County; a Magnolia Bog near Laurel; recent finds in southern Maryland; uncommon to rare species from Baltimore and Pennsylvania field trips; exploration along the upper C&O Canal; and surveys of the Nature Conservancy's North Cherry Creek Bog site and other places in Garrett County.
There will be a mailing party before the meeting, starting at 6:30pm. Volunteers are welcome - the more helping hands, the merrier!
