NOTICE:
From March 15 to March 22, 2024, the bathrooms at Plummer House at our Glendening Preserve will be closed because of no electricity.
GNP meadows are scheduled to undergo prescribed burning as part of their continued management. Because prescribed burning is entirely weather-dependent, we will be on standby for closure. We DO NOT KNOW which day the burn will occur until the morning of the event. GNP will remain open next week EXCEPT on the day the burn occurs. We will update our website and signs will be posted on the gates on the day of the event. When this occurs, The entirety of Glendening Nature Preserve will be CLOSED, including the Wrighton Road entrance.
Please respect posted signs and do not enter on the day of the burn. Thank you!
