The air is crisp, the colors are vibrant, and hints of fall are starting to show across Frederick County! 🍂 Take a moment to step outside and soak in the beauty around you. Whether it’s a stroll through a local park, a scenic drive, or just pausing to enjoy the view!

Working through Maryland DNR's list of "25 in 2025" activities. Today we completed Geology Rocks collecting fossils at Calvert Cliffs.

We had an amazing time at Frederick Pride! 🌈 The energy, the smiles, and the sense of community were truly inspiring. Can't wait for next year!
