Field Trip: Habitat Survey

Throughout the spring and summer, we’ll be holding several plant surveys as part of a bird banding study habitat assessment and need volunteers. Even if your plant identification skills are rusty (or lacking), helping staff and more experience volunteers record data, take photos, and create maps will allow you to learn how to identify the common and uncommon plants in the area.

Leaders: Karyn Molines

Directions: Flag Ponds Nature Park, 1525 Flag Ponds Parkway, Lusby, MD 20657 (Calvert County)

Bring: Hand-lens, binoculars, and field guides are optional. Bring a lunch for after the survey, if desired.

Notes: Dress for the weather and wear comfortable hiking shoes.
