Today, the majority of the Chesapeake region will experience a partial solar eclipse! 🌘
Be sure to soak in this rare phenomenon, but remember to not look directly at the sun!😎

🌳It's Maryland Arbor Day! The official state tree is the White Oak (Quercus alba). You have seen their acorns on the ground which provide a great source of food for wildlife animals. The wood from white oaks is used to make high-end flooring, barrels, kegs, casks, ships & boats.

A new national wildlife refuge could be carved out in Southern Maryland, and the public has a chance to weigh in on the plan. If approved, this would be the first national wildlife refuge in the Bay region in 26 years.

Happy Maryland Day! Today commemorates March 25, 1634 when settlers disembarked from two small sailing ships - the Ark and the Dove - on to Maryland soil. St. Clement's Island is where they landed in what is now St. Mary's County, Maryland.

Happy #WorldWaterDay! The Bay receives about half its water volume from the Atlantic Ocean in the form of saltwater. The other half (freshwater) drains into the Bay from the enormous 64,000-square-mile watershed

Native languages are at the heart of Indigenous communities’ cultural identities, knowledge, traditions, spiritual beliefs and self-governance. They are woven inextricably into traditional ways of life and continue to influence modern perspectives.
