2018 MGS Fall CITO

Come on out and join MGS for the Fall CITO at Patuxent River Park on September 22 from 10am to 12pm! We will be working with the staff to pick-up trash, possibly do some light trail maintenance or remove invasive species. And if you haven’t earned the souvenir, you will at this event. This park is also home to a Find Your Chesapeake Geotour geocache. With the CITO over at 12, you might want to bring your kayak and enjoy the Patuxent River just North of Jug Bay. Just be sure that you DO NOT Release the Kraken!

CAM Kick-Off events across the state were well attended and excitement was in the air.  I hope everybody is enjoying themselves so far.  There were some hickups including a reception attended by the Govenor,  lots and lots of muggles, and a wet parking lot but miles were driven, geocaches were found and fun was had.  Keep at it because the picnic is right around the corner!  Something even closer than the CAM picnic is two MGS Spring CITOs!  So come out, help out and earn that new Spring 2018 CITO souvenir!  One CITO will be held in Southern Maryland, at the Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary and one in Northern Maryland at the Elk Neck Arboretum.  So come out, earn your souvenir and help clean up the playing field.  See you there!
