This event is free and combines family fun with engaging environmental education. The "fun" part includes tours of the historic farmhouse, a variety of tasty food offerings, hayrides, a straw maze, pumpkin painting, and creative craft activities for children.
Exhibitors, including the Maryland Departments of Natural Resources, Environment, Agriculture and Planning, as well as Town, County and local organizations, will display information on rain gardens, oyster restoration, storm water management, river testing results, living shorelines, land preservation, cover crop programs, septic system upgrades, and other environmental issues.
