Welcome to the April 2020 Issue of Natural Places News! 

 

This newsletter is a publication of the Maryland Sierra Club Natural Places Committee. The purpose of this newsletter is to provide information and access to recent articles, publications, outings, and website resources that promote our mission. Our mission is to explore, enjoy, and protect natural areas in Maryland, and support the Natural Places Committee members. We value native biological diversity of all plants, animals, and fungi, including native flowers, ferns, mushrooms, birds, mussels, butterflies, frogs, and racoons. We value the diverse native habitats, including forests, meadows, wetlands. rivers, mountains, and coastal areas. 

 

Our NEXT MEETING will be Saturday, May 16th, 2:30pm - 4:30pm on Zoom. We hope you can join us! ​Register here https://www.sierraclub.org/maryland/calendar​.
